Thanks,I got a refund. There are many dishonest sellers who try to manipulate buyers into paying then through family and friends and if they fail -they try to extort from buyers more money after they confirm the deal-it's really a shame that such a business conduct is quite popular ... View more

A seller gave me his name and address and his business Paypal account email, but on a sudden informed me that he has some restrictions on his business account and he wants to give me "his partner" Paypal business account-the question is if I transfer the agreed sum to his "his partner" - Paypal business account -will I be entitled to "buyer protection" if something goes wrong after I make the payment ? if I carry on with this transfer to "his partner" business account-should I get his partner personal details as well or the seller's details are enough ? ...

If a seller gives me as a buyer his full name and address and a Paypal account email(not an invoice) which is not his personal account,but his business Paypal account which is not on his name, but probably is registered on his company/business name-to make a transfer through goods&services-does it still entitle me for a buyer protection, if something goes wrong after I make the payment ? (I read user agreement and all other rules on Paypal and could find any reference to it) ... View more

It turned out that the Paypal account email which was sent to me is the seller's business account and although I got the full name and address of the seller , yet the account is not on his name, but on his business/company name . I couldn't find any reference to such an issue in relation to "buyer  protection" and whether I'm entitled to such a protection or not, if I make a transfer to his business account and something goes wrong after the transfer is made.   ...

I'd like to buy some audio tubes from private people who insist that I should pay through family&friends instead of goods&services which I'm keen on using -is it safe ? Can I pay through family&friends or does it pose any risk for me if something goes wrong with the transaction ? One Seller claims that his account for goods&services is on hold and wants me to transfer to his wife paypal account, but only through family&friends-is it Kosher and safe ?  If I use such a payment option-could I get a refund if item doesn't arrive,or if I don't get what I paid for or if it arrives defective ?  I read somewhere that if my account is personal-I can't transfer anything to a business account -is it true ? The other seller wants me to pay through family &friends to his wife business account-is it safe ?  ... View more

Hi, 1.I did use goods/services. 2.It said that the money was transferred and the seller also confirmed accepting the money.Only later after he asked me to call my friend in L.A who is supposed to get the delivery and inform him that delivery will arrive in 3 hours, seller,on a sudden, informed me that he can't access his account and made up various excuses and said he got restriction for 24 hours due to multiple wrong access and promised to sort it out after 24 hours,namely around 11 hours ago,but completely vanished and blocked me in messenger. 3.Seller didn't send an invoice-he just gave me his account name,email and full personal details  .   I gave a full description of the purchased items in the comments box. Thanks in advance for your assistance ... View more
