A MAN OF BETRAYED JUSTICE
Staff member

Looking to buy something cheap on craigslist ($20), but it's halfway across the country.

Is Paypal a good way to go about paying for it?

If the guy never sends it, do I have grounds to refund my payment?

Paypal does have dispute resolution. I'm not sure if it's legally binding.

It might help to set up an e-bay buy it now auction for the item.

thought of that mross, but I don't want to risk it getting gobbled up.

...or you could use Pay Pal with a credit card as payment and you'd be covered by your cc company.

thanks, I thought so, but saw someone claim otherwise... figured I'd ask someone I know slightly better.
...or you could say 'F it! It's only $20 so I'll just take a chance.'

Thought of that too, but figured it would be good to know for future reference.

Hitchhike out there and take whatever it is at gunpoint.

I like your initiative, but I'd likely go broke getting all the way to San Diego, I'd have to find local work, and never leave the beautiful surroundings.

Plus who would watch my TV?

Yeah, San Diego, you'd have to go through my area and I might beat you with a bat or I could let you crash here and maybe let your stinky ass take a shower, but odds are I would beat you with a bat, it's nothing personal, I just really like beating people with a bat.

The TV would be long gone by then, so it's good to know you have a backup motivation for the beating.
