Okay, time to get promoted to full member!
P.S. Leave me feedback you jerks, I know you're enjoying my cold hard cash.
Gift payments are a little harder to do chargebacks with, but if you pay with a credit card and do a gift payment, you're always covered.
I said fuck that and abandoned the PayPal account. Months later I made a new PP account and PP tracked it down and put hold it for the amount due. After that they sent claims after me and started harassing me by phone. I said fuck it and just paid them the $150 as it was hard to conduct buying and selling with PP.
There should be ways to enforce people to use Heatware or some other account verification program, to not only show that the userbhas some sort of feeback, but to show that they are willing to be kept track of. Axrually, we put restrictions as it is on juniors (can't start threads, etc) I think juniors should have restrictions placed on them also regarding this thread. You don't join GAF to buy and sell, or rather...you shouldn't be doing that. You should be joining the site to take part in the many discussions and conversations that happen on here. Being able to buy and sell is just an additional perk, and as is, you shouldn't be able to buy or sell as long as you're a junior. Prove (by passing the time limit and amount of posts, prove that you can be a decent poster, and you can be able to not only be a member but also be able to take part in this thread.
You can use a credit card for a personal payment. I think the fee is roughly the same as a non-gifted payment with your bank account though. However, I think a non-gifted payment with your credit card is higher than a gifted payment with your credit card. If that's the case, might as well gift it with your credit card because it's not like you get any additional protections by sending the payment as one for goods/services.Gift payments are supposed to come out of your PayPal balance or your checking account. If you use the credit card, then PayPal will charge the person receiving the "gift" a fee. So if you're going to use the credit card, why don't you just do a regular paypal payment and add $1-2 to cover the fees?
Yeah, we just have to figure out if that will prevent more scams or if it will just cause more inconveniences to junior members. On the one hand, you prevent those who join Gaf just to sell stuff. On the other, you make it very difficult for someone who lurks more than posts or who is new to the forum to trade stuff.There should be ways to enforce people to use Heatware or some other account verification program, to not only show that the userbhas some sort of feeback, but to show that they are willing to be kept track of.

Well I think that's racist (my opinion may change in ten posts.)

How did they track you down? Did you use the same checking account? Or do you have to give PayPal your social security number? I would have opened a new checking/savings account and used that to prevent association with the old account.
I don't see how that message is racist, as race has nothing to do with it. It's giving restrictions to members based on their rank. ie the same way Junior's can't create a thread.
But regarding rocketskates post, there are people who don't frequently use GAF as often as others and that is outside of anyone's control.
sadly, the new web ui of paypal screwed up my settings i had when i had payment set up to default to non-gift. i switched back to the old version.
Specs:
I'm sure he meant it as being discriminating towards juniors. I myself am a junior but have been dealing in this thread quite a lot and besides one case of an established member trying to scam me (which I got most of my money back, except the portion I paid as gift), I have had no issues dealing with other juniors, so completely shutting them out of the thread because of a couple other incidents would be unfair.
Even if it's a gift payment you still can file a dispute, just choose Unauthorized Payment, then provide any proof you have.
Positive seller feedback for AwRy108 : Shipped quickly / no problem at arrival !
Bump with the games still available. Also including some graphic novels:
WTS a ton of stuff. All prices include shipping unless you are interested in a bundle of items under $10 otherwise I will have to tack on $4 on top of it. Would prefer to ship in bulk but will ship off items piece meal as well. All games are in like new condition unless otherwise noted:
I agree with most of what you suggested before and now, but junior member restrictions are too much. People need to be aware of the precautions they can use like chargeback more than further limitations. As a seller, it's one reason I more often than not prefer PayPal gift because those are harder to dispute.As I said earlier, I think the best course of action for right now would be just to add a section on how a buyer can protect himself in the OP (use a CC, how to do chargebacks, etc) or maybe a link to paypal's practices and make sure that people know about the Feedback list, maybe Bold it and add it to the beginning of the OP as well. Enact a policy where Juniors or people with lesser feedback send first.
The feedback list itself could use some work, as I stated before I don't know what it would entail to make an actual website for just a feedback system, but if that was feasible or possible to do we could have a profile page for each user w/ links to other relevant feedback they have.
