Krisboats Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Oh my god, this is the most paranoid thread i've ever read. YOU EITHER TRUST HIM OR DON'T! If jonny's said he's alright then he most certainly will be fine, jonny's done a lot for all of us and is always friendly to talk to over msn. He helped me out with a load of adobe premiere stuff when i was starting out with using it.Just pay him without "arranging to go on msn"... sorry but thats very kiddie like. Just ring him up, and ask him to send pictures to your e-mail address. Hotmail has a 10mb limit so you won't have a problem with filesizes.Theres no definate coverage with paypal if its not bought through ebay, due to there being no official channels like unpaid item disputes etc. So its the same as any old cheque or bank transfer, just pick a payment and be done with it... make sure he's fine with it to.Ask him to send it either recorded delivery with insurance, its like an extra £1 for £180 coverage and £2 for 250 coverage. Or get it sent via special delivery, which costs more but i think is guaranteed to be next day with a £500 insurance coverage.Then once the payment goes through and he sends it just wait.Its not really that hard is it?The thread was suposed to be on tips on how not go get scammed and how to go about buying somting over the internet, i don't even know were to start what do i do with paypal, tell them to send money to someone or somthing .Rorz!Only just seen this, i'm guessing if you havn't a clue how to use it then you havn't set up an account, gave your card details, waited for them to put the two small deposits into your account in order for you to verify its your account (usually takes 3-5 days) and then gotten his paypal address?I reckon you'd be better off sending him a cheque.

Ok i think i have come to terms with the fact there is no 100% way that i can not get scammed but he seems a nice guy etc so im going to go with it, anyway cheers for all your help.Rorz!

Krisboats Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hey, I have spoken to Jonny Jones he defiantly vouches for him as he says he is a very sound lad. I will go through all the precautions. Just another quick question though. My dad doesn't want to send his credit card details over to paypal again after trouble in the past. Is there anyway i an send some sort of postal order to them and have the same affect.Cheers, Rorz!My dad has a paypal as i have used it to order from ebay. Ok i think i have come to terms with the fact there is no 100% way that i can not get scammed but he seems a nice guy etc so im going to go with it, anyway cheers for all your help.Rorz!That can be interpreted in two ways.... If he has a paypal account his details are already with them so the first statement is stupid. But if he doesn't want to give them his details then he doesn't have an account. I guess you need to check to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 What?Its impossible for anyone but the account owner to get bank details, and even then only the last 4 digits are shown.Enter the e-mail address they use for paypal, enter the amount, enter delivery address, select type of product you are buying, send.

RR_Trials Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 OK since alot of you have been VERY kind and gave me a few pointers etc i would like to say the deal is pretty much sealed.We are going to use a postal cheque.Just one last question, if for example he got my money and didn't send the frame is there anything that i can do, also should i send the postal cheque recorded delivery?Cheers, Rorz!
