International $10k + Purchase with Paypal?
I found someone with no references selling a nice vintage piece at a decent price. He only accepts paypal. NO REFERENCES. He's located in Mexico and I'm in the US.
Would I be covered if I sent $10k+ for a watch and he sends me a rock? I know I'd be good in the US, but what about international? How long could money be held up if this didn't pan out? Any chance I wouldn't get my money back? |

Depends if you have the time to spare to go through the hassle of processing the refund. Whatever you do pay with a credit card through PP. Have it shipped to a mail center and open package in presence off employee while filming. You'll be good if you get that rock.

Trust your senses. Always buy the seller and this one your already questioning. It would be a pass for me.

Thanks. I'm asking for more detailed shots and the seller has gone quiet. I'm not getting emotional or sucked into this. Keeping my cool for now. If I get a lot of info and good pics I may proceed with the credit card and PayPal route. Otherwise, I'll be passing.

Wow, sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'd walk and not turn my head back.

I would be more apprehensive if he DIDN'T accept paypal and wanted a wire.
Have you researched your seller ? Did you get the memo about the new TPS reports ? |
