Paypal identifies supermarket as a high risk for fraud

[LIVENUDEGIRLS 16,016]

Anyone else with the paypal plugin start getting this prompt when visiting here? Exaggeration? Or does that much fraud really go on here? The blacklist obviously has a significant amount of reports, but they seem minimal compared to the number of users who seem to participate in the market.

I don't know but I am a hell of a lot more careful now than last year, even. I think I will stick to sellers I have had transactions with in the past.

[ChaseDizzy 224,887]

never had a problem.

[Nullsleep 18,782]

I've had only good experiences so far. Hocus Pocus recently proxied an item for me from Toronto despite the fact that we had never even spoken to each other prior to that (+ rep!).

[chixdiggit 10]

I have bought alot of items from here and never had any problems, until I bought a pair of jeans from eequalsmcbrill. It's been over a month and I have not recieved them. I just checked the blacklist, and it seems other people have the same problem with him.

[freecat 1,123,982]

i have more confidence in buying from reputable members, but i also buy from unknown member, everything went flawlessl yet !

[JohnnyRed 7,107]

I've only had good experiences. supermarket is the main reason I still hang around here, no problems so far. Better than ebay, shit

[e0d9n0b5 1,881,440]

I've bought and sold with no problems .

I'm sure ebay would be listed as high fraud risk if it didn't own paypal

[dunkin deeznuts 655,464]

always a risk no matter where / who / u buy from

you just use your noggin.....

Very true. The amount of fake goods, scams and dodgy credit cards on eBay makes it as high risk as anywhere. I would suggest Sufu is probably safer - obviously you should probably think twice about paying $4,000 for a CCP leather jacket to someone in Lagos with only one post, but that goes for any site.

[Phyziks 113,787]

Yeah, I've been waiting over 3 weeks for a pair of new standards. I plan on filing an appeal with paypal tomorrow night if I still haven't received the jeans/money back.

[shekki 58,338]

i got scammed once, but got my money back. Ever since then I've tried to be extra cautious.

[goat 962,038]

there's a reason i keep a list of all the ppl i've dealt with in my sig

i have no problem giving a ref for them and (hopefully) they have no problem giving a ref for me

[landho 206,789]

Have bought a few things from here, have yet to have any problems.

[itsmedeka 83,513]

I've had nothing but a great experience selling/buying multiple items from our marketplace. ::knocks on wood::

[adidassler 130]

^co-sign

i generally stick with buying and selling from reputable members w/ high post counts and plenty of refs.

haha yeah, i thought about this. Well its cool to see everyone has had good experiences. I've had pretty good experiences as well. A few tardy shipments, but I've been a little tardy too so I can't complain. Sellers always kept me in the loop though, so no biggie.

[thescott 30,236]

I got shafted by that buttclown ktothe last year, which is the only bad experience I've had here.

Interesting if effective

EBay Expands PayPal Protections

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/20/technology/20ebay.html?_r=2&sq=ebay&st=nyt&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&scp=3&adxnnlx=1214583370-8gBPW817MawUQqXQyAyKWQ

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — EBay hopes to attract more online traders by expanding the protections available to people who use its PayPal payment service for transactions on ebay’s Internet marketplaces.

EBay executives said Thursday at the company’s annual user conference that buyers who pay for items with PayPal will be eligible for full refunds, with no cap, if a seller fails to deliver an item as promised. Previously a buyer’s coverage was capped at $200, or $2,000 if the item’s seller enjoyed a particularly good reputation on eBay.

EBay sellers who accept PayPal as a payment method, as nearly all of them do, will also get unlimited protection against a charge being reversed. Such reversals can happen if a buyer claims not to get an item, or if a payment is fraudulently made. Previously sellers’ coverage had an annual limit of $5,000, and applied only for shipments to the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

A PayPal spokeswoman, Sara Gorman, said the changes, due to take effect this fall, reflect the service’s increasing confidence in its ability to spot and block many fraudulent transactions before they occur.

I've yet to hear from lazylrx for more than a month. Probably been scammed. Dealt before with him and was successful once, but now seems like i've been scammed.

[der Liebhaber 546]

asdbra IS THE FRAUD HERE!! WARNING: DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS GUY---HE BOUGHT SHOES OFF ME AND WHEN I LET HIM KNOW THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SENT (aka A KIND GESTURE) HE OPENS A DISPUTE WITH PAYPAL!! CREEP

[asdbra 2,901]

Sorry, do not blow this matter up, I have pm-ed you.

I hope we can settle this in private before bringing it up in public.

[der Liebhaber 546]

:mad::mad:Private? No---filing a dispute with PayPal after I pm'd you to let you know that your package has been sent is shady and unacceptable!!!!

[BrettChaotix 234]

I've bought/sold a lot, a least 20 transactions and I've only had one problem.

Bought something from someone in Toronto and it never arrived. He claims he sent it and the other buyers in his thread said they received their stuff. I'm guessing customs lost it or something but because he didn't ship it with a tracking number, I couldn't find out. It was only $40 so I'll live but it was annoying!

[pantheist 13,225]

i lost $120 to axtsang on one of my first purchases from supermarket, other than that i haven't had any problems.

[sirkus 21,464]

The only problems I've had has been with users saying they shipped an item but, in reality it hasn't even left their closet yet. So it takes longer than the necessary 5 to 7 days to get here. I know this because I look at the sticker that shows the date it was entered and shipped.

Give them neg feedback, or in sufu case, neg rep.

[denimhunter 4,599]

I have problem with vee_kung from Thailand before. Sold him a pair of shoes and already sent the item and yet he opened a dispute with paypal. i have money and of course the shoes. No sure if he is legit.

Hey, Im from Lagos! and I still wouldn't do business with someone there.

Always bought and sold with confidence here. Had no problems and hopefully I never will.
