A Big Tip for Buying Digital Items with Paypal from Schmeg.com

   

Never pay by paypal with only a comment like "money for xxx.com"

Clearly state what your giving the person the money for, domain names, files, forum, exclusive purchase of database(s), design, psd files, etc.......

That way when and if you have to make a claim for nondelivery, it's a much simpler case of, did he transfer all of above? No. Dispute resolved, money back.

Been there, done it and learned from it.

I've had an issue with a seller over $2200, and though it took a while and it was complicated, PayPal did return the funds. I had very clearly labeled the transaction, as I always do, with the following text:

For the exclusive purchase of xxx.com, it's domain, site files, databases, images, and any copyrights held in it's name.

PayPal said they based the decision simply on the WHOIS record, which obviously didn't show me as the owner of the disputed domain.
