Hi,

i was wondering if someone can chargeback the money with WU like scammers used to do with paypal ?

Btw i'm selling not buying that's why i ask ... i dont want to loose my money :rollseyes:

thx

not if you're sure to go collect it before you give them the item, don't just take their word that they sent it

It takes some time for the user to go down to the WU office to collect the money, they can go and do that and never give you the item, at least with paypal it's instant

there's always a way to scam, but, it's rather unlikely.

the reciever cant be scammed if u collect money first... the sender can be scammed if they let u collect money first... usd via interweb = sketchy <_<

theres a piece from a paper above my monitor .
the title is "how not to get scammed"
one of the tips is dont trade with people who want u to use western union...
but , if u are willing to take the chance , go ahead

noway, go to WU, take the money, and THEN, once u got money in your hands, give the item.

You need a picture ID to claim your money, usually government issued.
