Heads Up PayPal Pay After Delivery Nightmare!

I NEVER give Paypal direct access to my bank account number. Everything goes on a charge card, that I can dispute if the item never shows up. I have, in the past 3 months, been having a lot of problems with small things ordered from china that just never show up. Like Customs is perhaps intercepting them and stealing them? LED 4 place voltage meter, that the vendor swore he sent it to me twice. Right now, waiting on some 60 amp gold electrical connectors. I'm thinking either a customs status problem with china by obama, or theft, somewhere along the way. Post office never tells me I have to pay duty or get something cleared by customs.

Either that, or China man is now gaming the system, taking the money, and not shipping anything at all?

I am like you. I put the credit card company between my bank account and anyone trying to perpetrate a fraud or a screwed up purchase. In WV you can dispute a charge on your bank account but the last time I did I had to go to a branch and fill out a plethora of paperwork. Dispute a charge on a credit card? I can either do it online or with a phone call.

Two years ago I used a credit card to fuel my truck and that night I get a text message that $3,000+ had just been charged on the card about 250 miles from where I was staying. While on the phone with Discover another $2,000+ charge at the same store hit the account. They shut the card down and sent me a new card. The thief never ever got near my bank account. You can give your bank account information to whomever but I just don't do it. I only use my bank debit card in two instances...at an ATM to get money (only in WV) or at WalMart to get cash back when I am traveling. Otherwise my debit card resides in the old folder. YMMV
