Now ONE individual ruined it for all of us ...used to be able to trust guys on the forum... from now on better use Paypal with CC.....

BTW, Paypal "so called" buyer protection is limited to $200... they might have changed it to a reasonable amount since I had a problem... I bought on Ebay and the seller never shipped: contacted Paypal and they only refunded $200.... I was pissed to say the least, called Visa and got the entire amount back.... no idea what Paypal did after that, never heard from the seller either...

Not true about the $200 limit:

To qualify for PayPal Buyer Protection, you must meet all of these requirements:
Use PayPal to purchase an eligible item on eBay.


Pay for the full amount of the item with one payment. Items purchased with multiple payments-like a deposit followed by a final payment-are not eligible.


Send the payment to the seller through:

The eBay "Pay Now" button, or

The eBay invoice, or

The "Send Money" tab on your PayPal account overview page by selecting "Pay for eBay Items" and entering your eBay User ID and the eBay item number.


Open a Dispute within 45 days of the date you sent the payment-then follow the online dispute resolution process.


Keep your PayPal account in good standing.


How do I know if I'm purchasing an eligible item on eBay?
Look for the buyer protection message in the eBay listing in the right hand column under the "Buy Safely" banner. If you see this message, and you meet the eligibility requirements, then your purchase is covered by PayPal Buyer Protection. You can also view this message after you complete your purchase by logging in to your eBay account, going to "My eBay" and looking at the listing. If the listing does not include the buyer protection message, then it is not eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection.

Well I felt the L-48 comment was a veiled insult. I don't have a Caprice/taxicab motor. Never did.

This is getting too far off topic for this thread but anyways....I purchased an item on Ebay earlier this year, paid via Paypal, single payment and the seller never shipped the item. I knew I could trust Visa to get my money back but I tried Paypal first... they emailed me that they only cover $200....

why do you think they ask you twice if you REALLY want to use a credit card while Paypal buyer protection is sooo outstanding.....

[DJ Dep]

Well my credit card IS PayPal. So I have double protection
I've never had a problem with PayPal getting my money back when a transaction went South. Fortunately, I've only had to use them a few times.

Vettezuki: The concept of this section is good, but be carefull not to let this shit spill to the rest of the site. The lack of this shit is why I like Mototgen.

Yes. This is PRECISELY in the plan. Just it all started going down right towards Christmass and we're short on time. We've got to "roll our own" logic to filter it on the homepage, but I guarantee you while we'll allow people to go off so to speak, it will be under strict quarantine to this section.

Anyway, you don't usually read "wannabe ambulance chasing butt pirate" in threads about what the best rockers are. So it's got that going for it.

Please see the rules of this section and let me know if you think they are adequate.
