A word about Scammers

Here's what I did. I opened a PP account, I opened a separate checking/savings account. When I have a build up of funds in PP, I send it to the checking. When it hits the checking I log into the bank and transfer it to a savings account.

It gives me a couple layers of protection, and there isn't enough in the PP account to lose sleep over, and the same with the checking.


Postal MO, is the next best option IMO. It protects you from getting a forged money order and it protects the buyer too. If you were to stiff them it's a federal crime and they WILL look into it.


Best thing I can suggest, is when you do a transaction with someone here, follow through quickly, keep the communication line open, send tracking numbers etc..

Once you have a couple of sales, and some folks leave you positive feedback it gets better.
i got a postal money order and got ripped for $86 dollars, tried to get post office to do something about it, got a call from cyber crime unit, wanted me to drive from tennessee to ohio to file claim, would have cost me more to drive up there and back, plus a days wages to take off in the week to go, so it may work , but hope you have time to drive all over the country, i gave them the name, said i couldnt prove he didnt send the parts ups, fedex, usps., so its your copy of a money order versus him saying parts must have got lost in shipping even thoigh he dont have a tracking number
