Anyone here with paypal? Can you help me and another on here out?

I don't have paypal... I've tried to get it. Long story, but it ends with me here and now not having it.

I have some games I am selling to someone in Germany. Name is Dennis. Nice guy. He has paypal and would like to use it. He could send a money order, but he tells me it would cost $60. That's pretty stupid. Is there anyone here he can paypal the money to and then you could turn and send me a us postal money order so I can send him his stuff? It would be best if it were someone I've dealt with before if at all possible. I understand there's some fee? I'm sure he would cover the fee. Thanks for your help.

Ya Know Blue I didn't even think about that. THat is something to consider

Actually I just thought of something else, why would it cost him $60.00 to send a money order? Even slow boat shipping and getting the Money order couldnt set him back more then 10 dollars at the most right?

I've been researching MO's recently, because I am going to start using them soon myself, and I looked around various websites. It seems most of them charge fees/taxes on the amount you wish to send, and for the shipping.(Western Union, Moneygram, etc..)

I tried to see how much it would cost for me to send $115 to Hong Kong from the US, and the additional fee was $27.00 on WU.
I'm fairly new to online shopping, so I started with paypal and have had difficulty. It requires a credit card, and unless you set up your bank account with paypal, they set you a $2k sending limit, which can only be removed after verifying an account. I'm not used to online banking...

If you head down to your local post office, I'm sure the money order checks shouldn't cost more than a few bucks to buy, and to send out. Cash(no coins) doesn't weigh that much, and it is traceable, like all packages should be. Much better to take care of it by hand and in person, than in front of a monitor and keyboard...

Just my 2 cents...

BTW, Paypal sucks!!!!

Well Spike, I thought I'd point this out because I don't wanna see you burned.

Germany has VERY wierd privacy laws. No one in germany can give out contact information without that persons permission (or something like that, I don't know the specifics). One of the most popular eBay/PayPal scams is to recieve something in Germany, and then retract. In the end, you end up with fuck all you can do about it. Its even easier, since they can't have a confirmed address due to PayPals rules.

If you look around for a few of those PayPal horror story websites, you should find what I'm talking about.

I won't accept PayPal from someone outside the US unless they have at least a 20 rating.

I see... so in other words, nevermind. Well, I hate to do this to a new guy. Damn. Thanks all.

I can't see why it would cost him $60.00 to send you a money order. The cost would be maybe 5 to 10 at the most plus shipping. Maybe 10 to 12 to your house. I would be careful, I have heard of scams like this.

Nice to see all you guys too. Been hella busy lately but I have some time freed up to meander around online again so, here I am =]

Been hanging out at <a href="http://www.digitpress.com" target="_blank">www.digitpress.com</a> a bit lately. Kinda into the classics a bit Neo included ~_^

hmm... now I just need to pick out a cool new Neo game to buy... but which one...

I trust life has been treating you guys well?

Things have been good. Kept you in my sig for your great selling and trading skills. Saw you online a few times via AIM but didnt get a chance to write you. Anyway, how much of your collection is left? Of did you get rid of it all?

Haha, I decided not to sell.... anything for the most part. Just a few items I put up here and that was it.

And my collection has continued to grow, especially lately. I think I'm around 3,000 games total now. Just thinking about it is crazy.

Haven't bought much as far as Neo goes except for Puzzled off Yuckydog when I met up with him last week. Cool guy btw.

I think I saw you online as well, but not lately, drop me a line sometime and we can chat.
