. Seriously, do it !As the account is still active I won’t mention the name but it was stood up in 2010 with a good reputation (400+). The account was likely hacked and that’s how I was scammed. If I am to purchase again I will be sure to call them first.
That's an understandable POV. However, I certainly wouldn't accept a 'standard' PayPal payment from you, or most others tbh. The scam works both ways; suppose you pay by PayPal, I send the item, then you say that you only received a few bricks, or whatever. Most likely scenario is that PayPal will refund you leaving me out of pocket. This is a common scam and why many don't use eBay.
Cheers mate, that’s really good of you. I did PM you on PFM to explain things before I posted this.Truly sorry to hear Dicy, I bought the Chomecast from you, really happy for you to keep it and just refund me if that helps keep you in tunes. Just message me, Cheers, Ian.
Edit: Or I can post it back - don't feel you need to honour the sale at all, I've got plenty of music here

I am pretty sure this is not true. The card company dealt with paypal/facebook (or whoever the intermediary was) and that transaction was fine. They have no knowledge of the seller. They will most likely tell you to sort it out with paypal/facebook (or whoever the intermediary was). If you want full credit card protection then the credit card company must deal directly with your seller. If you do so and can show the seller is at fault then the chances of getting your money back are pretty much 10/10 because this is a significant part of what the higher credit card charges are covering. Should people start to believe they might not get their money back using a credit card (appropriately) the credit card companies would soon lose all their customers using cards for protection rather than a months credit. This is likely to be their more profitable customers.
It depends on the amount, if it's over £100 then you have more protection. You can do a chargeback if it's over £100 but I'm not sure if you use Paypal friends what that entails.
Credit card protection (which is good and what you want) only applies if the credit card company is dealing with the seller directly. Here is a summary. If you deal with an intermediary like paypal, facebook or whoever and there is nothing wrong with the transaction between the credit card company and the intermediary then the credit card company is not involved. You will have to deal with the intermediary and if it is paypal they do not have a good track record unlike credit card companies. No idea about facebook but my expectations would be pretty low.
Facebook is the essence of evil, no matter which way you want to consider it. I used to use it until a couple years ago, but exclusively to have a poke at whatever celebrity or politician idiot was the focus of media's attention that day or week, and also to follow a few artists I liked. They eventually booted me out, because I wouldn't follow their 'community rules'. Best thing that happened to me for the past decade.
Take some consolation from the fact that you've got a great wife.
It maybe a fake profile, not even his image or it could be a hacked FB account. I know someone who had their FB account hacked, caused a lot of trouble and FB took weeks to sort it out. Policing of social media sites needs to be improved considerably.
I thought that was twitter
I totally agree, although he had lots of 'friends' they all seemed fictitious too once I'd done some digging around. I had to close the studio's FB page because it was hacked twice, two people got stung after paying up front for practice space - we've never taken money over social media.
