This may have been covered but could not find any reference.
Airplane parts are expensive and as experimental owners/builders we are always looking for bargains. So, when you have found an apparent bargain, how do you buy it without getting ripped off. PayPal does not seem to offer any dispute resolution outside of using eBay.
So to make this VAF specific, if we bought something off the ads here, and paid through PayPal, and the seller never sent you the product, you would have no way to get your money back. I have never had a problem, and every pilot or builder I have every met is very honest and willing to help at any time. But if I go off of Craig?s list I may not be so lucky.
Any suggestions on protecting the little money I have? How do you guys pay for the items you are buying here on VAF?
Thanks!
