Packard Bell riser card on eBay
Stories are true, the one who lost his savings is also on the verge of
losing his home. My other friends are considering a suit so I am not able to elaborate... mc |

Packard Bell riser card on eBay
Maybe. But my point is that PayPal is neither more safe nor less safe than any
other on-line or off-line system for collecting and disbursing money. Not safer than a credit card. Not less safe either. Bank accounts, accounts with stock brokers, etc. If the folks have a legitimate case, a clever but expensive lawyer will be willing to take on the case, and win it...

Paypal is great you are guaranteed a refund if the item does not track to your house. Do you need a credit card or bank account to set up an account. Yes you do unless you opened one up at the beginning You can tie it to any bank account you desire. I have mine tied into one that never has more than 100 dollars. I also have one tied to no account and can only use it to make a purchase and must send cash from my other account. If the item is payable with paypal you can also use your standard credit card and create a one time credit card # with just the amount of the sale. This particular item is not one that I would buy It is not tested and comes with no guarantee Seller clearly states he does not know it it works |

This particular item is not one that I would buy It is not tested and comes with no guarantee Seller clearly states he does not know it it works That is correct, that is the way I set it up years ago. Another nice feature is the ability to use a bogus credit card number for a one time transcation (Like my AMEX card provides) which is valid for a purchase but keeps my "personal card number private" so if something goes wrong Amex takes the hit. I noted that some other Credit Card companies are also giving this ability (Chase & CitiCorp) I normally buy on Ebay and do not sell and I have never in many years had a problem with a seller. Maybe I have been lucky. Elector |

When was the last time you saw a riser card fail ? And so what........ it's currently a 99¢ item, with $6.17 shipping.
