Or better yet, check out Paypal itself:

pardon me if this is OT in the thread, i think it's somewhat related in a way.

have anyone tried purchasing a mobile phone, digicam or laptop from the classifieds forum particlarly from the seller from the US or UK?

i saw two threads selling mobile phones and when i inquired i learned that the seller is based on the US and another from the UK.

the responder told me to place my order thru emal and pay via western union, all i have to do is give my shipping address and contact number.

i just want to know if aomeone really tried this and the transaction pushed thru.

thank you very much.

Very high odds that you will be ripped off. Western Union is the first tip. The second is prices so low that they are impossible.

As stated be very wary of anything requiring western union!! 99% chance of a scam as western union equates to sending a stranger your cash!
Pay pal is about as good as it gets and then only people with positive feedback ( ebay or yahoo auctions). For something with a relatively low value like a phone you're better off going to the local shops and haggle for a good deal. Often the price you get is as good as on the web ( shipping !!) and you know where to take it back if your not completely happy.
Dont get me wrong. I do a lot of successful deals on the net but you have to be careful ...

Good luck

Couldn't agree more! Looks like a scam! I purchase quite alot on ebay and after winning one auction at 1,100 US$ I didn't transfer the money until i had checked the seller out, and it took a long time, 14 days to be exact, all becuase he wasn't a member of paypal.

He had 100% feedback with over 600 sales, I still had my doubts, because he wanted a money order paying in. I eventually took random feedback from his feedback page and contacted 7 or 8 purchasers, who all vouched that they got there goods.

However 3 of them explained that he is not 100% truthful on his auctions and I should ask additional questions, to cover myself. if anything had gone wrong, I could not claim buyer protection.

Eventually i sent the 1100 US$ and was sweating after 10 days, and the goods had not arrived, I decided to request the tracking number, which he only then gave me, I guess he wanted me to sweat it out, because of the hassle of the deal, although i was genuine in wanting to pay, it was a security issue. Never ever just send money to tom dick or harry, without first checking the seller out, have a secure system like paypal, or arrange through the bank a letter of credit, it takes a little more time, but worth it.
