I would recommend that you pay either through Money Order or Cashiers Check.20:08:10 Shena R.Paying through Western Union doesn't provide buyer protection program.20:08:18 nip0664why?20:09:09 nip0664you mean if i sent him the money through western union, i wont be "insured" through his deposit with ebay?20:10:56 Shena R.Not really. But we don't recommend paying through Western Union as it's harder to file for a dispute should there be any problem with the transaction.20:11:43 nip0664what happens if i pay through bank account transfer, and i dont recieve the item or this item is fake?20:12:06 Shena R.You may file for a dispute.20:12:22 nip0664and what about his deposit with ebay?20:15:27 nip0664hello?20:16:11 Shena R.Yes, the item has purchase protection coverage.20:16:16 Shena R.Sorry for the delay in response.20:16:26 Shena R.Just having problem with my computer.20:16:30 nip0664its okay.20:16:52 nip0664so what happens if i pay for the item and he doesnt ship or ships a fake?20:17:21 Shena R.You may file for a claim should there be any problem with the transaction.20:18:14 nip0664and what happens further? im just trying to understand how much am i really protected, in case this person "takes the money and runs".20:20:46 Shena R.Should you need a refund for this transaction, the insured amount will be taken from the seller's purchase protection account and sent to you. The refund is sent to your bank account, or by check or money order.20:21:06 Shena R.The way you are refunded is at your choice. You have 30 days from the purchase date to request a refund. Refund requests are processed within 3 days.20:21:26 Shena R.Conditions to be met before you may ask for a refund:If the item doesn't arrive and/or the seller stops communications after the payment was received.If the merchandise you receive has different specifications than the ones you agreed on.If your merchandise arrives in a much longer period than the one you agreed on (more than 15 days from the payment clearance day).20:22:17 nip0664so would you suggest that this is a safe buy?20:22:36 Shena R.Yes.20:22:52 nip0664and there is noway i will loose my money?20:23:46 Shena R.As I've said, the listing has purchase protection coverage and you may get a refund should there be any problem with the transaction.20:23:59 nip0664i understandt.20:24:10 Shena R.Thanks!isnt ebay liable for this?!-------------------------Ebay has locked this thread, BTW-------------------------Note: This audio/visual /digital document was created using the new and improved ZDSoft Screen Recorder 2.6.2, & "Super C v2007, Build .22, March 14 2007", uploaded to youtube on June 24st, 2007, at approximately 09:58:20 PDT.I am using firefox 2.004 browser, with adblock plus, noscript, super drag n go, Image Zoom 0.3, and slim search extensions, and my "bumped" SpoofStick 1.06, among others.
