The Chameleon Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 So I slept in today and missed the general sale for the Police at the ACC.Since then I have found a guy on Craigslist who has a decent pair of tickets in the upper bowl at a reasonable price.He lives in Quebec City and seems on the level.However having never met him I want to know how I can protect myself from getting scammed and not recieving tickets.He says he will accept cheque,money order or paypal. He will ship via UPS or Xpresspost.If I go Paypal is there a way I can protect myself , in case he tries to not send me the tix I paid for?Advice? Comments?

phishtaper Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 paypal payments are guaranteed to some extent. if the transaction is linked to an ebay auction (they are owned by the same company), it very easy to get your money back. but it sounds like yours is a private transaction, so things are more complicated and could take months to resolve if something went wrong. if the seller is offering you the option of paying by cheque, thats your safest way to do it. but bottom line, its a matter of faith. and you have to base your faith on his reputation, standing on craiglist, etc. if he's been around for a while, it probably safe to deal with him.

StoneMtn Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Well, to state the obvious, do you happen to have a friend in Quebec City who can go pick up those tickets for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
