I purchased some records from an Audiogon member several years ago, using PayPal, but never received them. I thought PayPal would protect me, but their response was "there are no funds in the sellers PayPal account so we are so sorry ...." If it's not eBay I wouldn't assume PayPal will cover it. Sadly, there is no way to be 100% safe.
Pay Pal Protection?
Sorry I am new here so I don't know where to ask this. My question is if I pay for a product here though pay pal to a private seller and I send the $ but do not receive the product from the seller (fraud/scam whatever it might be) am I protected in any way for a full refund of the money I sent? Sorry if this has been asked before. I am just trying to protect myself in a loss.
