Ive recently been screwed over £255 on paypal. And now im told paypal will NOT cover me as i didnt have a tracking number for the item (It was collected) so if your gonna use paypal...make sure u post it recorded..and keep the tracking number safe

use your credit card in paypal (though paypal doesnt always look into the claim rightly)..if anything goes wrong, you can do a charge back ;) (if you can)

but best is cash on collection/receipt if possible and a friend as witness...As always, check item before paying ;)

but payapl

Cash on collection and take a mate with you is the best way if possible.

pay thru paypal but pay with a credit card i used my credit card thru paypal a while back and it covered me for a botch job sale

paypal would not refund me so i reported paypal to my credit card issuer and my card issuer took them on as if they were comitting fraud and i got all my money back thru credit card protection

paypal offer £500 quid cover i think , best check the site though

always a chance buying something on a forum.....best way is to meet..

Get loads of pics of the wheels 1st, see them in flesh if you can...

probably paypal i think mate
not 100% sure

whats the safest way to buy wheels from someone on a forum?

i.e. , if worst happens, which payment used would i have most comeback?

i was going to pay by cheque.

or is paypal better?

or amn i screwed either way if i get bumped? :lol::boggle:
