thx,
I did use paypal. There was an interesting twist that came about. A friend at work was telling me that he had bought something once and when it came time to pay for it, they wanted him to send the paypal to a different email address than they had posted when the listed the item for sale (supposedly they were selling for someone else and mistakenly entered the wrong email). He did send the money to the other address and had no problems.
Imagine this..Yesterday, when I got an email from the seller, she wanted me to send the paypal to a different email address..lol. She was selling this co-pilot for her b/f and mistakenly entered her email instead of his when creating the listing. Is there a reason for them wanting to do this?
After reading ebay's policy's concerning security of your purchases using paypal through ebay, I decided to send the money to the original email address and not the second one. I figure it like this, if they want to sell their co-pilot (I was the only bidder), she can surely get the money to her boyfriend. Or they can refuse the payment and I don't spend any money
. She took the paypal to her account. Now if I don't get the merchandise, I have at least some protection.
