2 issues with PayPal:
1. Funds are now held until item is received, potential scam for sellers 2. Biden is requiring you to pay taxes on PayPal sales. So unfortunately it will come down to seller reputation for shipping or cash only next year |

I’ve used escrow services to buy airplanes twice. It’s the only way to do large financial transactions with a stranger. Both parties fill out paperwork with bank account wiring info. Buyer funds the account, and only when buyer says “release the funds” *after* seeing that the item(s) are as advertised and free and clear, the escrow agent turns the funds over to seller’s account. Seamless transaction.

I'll tell you, after being scammed by deebeemerman I am really skittish. I am in a purchase right now with M Fueled. I think at first I ticked him off because I was trying to be careful and not be scammed again. He seems to be straight-up, should be receiving the wheels tomorrow.
If scammers worked as hard on a legitimate job who knows what would happen? Ed |

If someone sold you a broken part (injector, for example) regular PayPal should still back you up.

Luckily I never had a bad transaction (yet), hopefully never. But friends of mine had it bad on both ends, selling and buying. You may sell a part, where the buyer needs it to replace theirs, then dispute it with PayPal saying you sent the broken part (their original broken part), then request refund.
Always good to consider local sales/in person.

Seller should always send pix so they have proof of what sold. That should help prevent garbage like above.
