Westy Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 No come back as you have willingly transferred funds without specified goods/receipt. It's the same as marking money as a gift on PayPal. So need to trust the seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 is their a limit to the amount they insure you too? i thought it was like £500 or something? Its an escrow service so you can put forward a case against the person who you sent cash to , not too sure how long or difficult it is if an Item never arrived or how you would prove it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 If it's within the UK and it's marked as a "gift or payment owed" and not a purchase, paypal payments are free for both parties concerned. Anyone with an email can have a paypal account, so there's no reason why not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Always forum members and bank transfers for me (well, until I need to use any other sites). It's so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
