I've Been Had'But Learning Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Some of the preferred rep dealers (i.e. Joshua) only use money transactions via WU & MG. I have heard nothing but bad experiences on the Net from other buyers who have lost there funds dealing with these money transfer sponsors. I know Joshua comes highly recommended by this RWG forum and I like his selections, but I am really gun shy on using this only method of payment. I have already lost $550 via a COD transaction to a different rep dealer, I'm not about to loose any more funds on something that can't be traced or securely protected. Any advice to the experienced buyers/sellers with alternatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craytonic Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I wouldn't worry w/ joshua. I know the feeling though, having just sent payment to Luckyyy... he is awesome but I just hate WU and the killer fees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice to the experienced buyers/sellers with alternatives? how did you get scammed with COD (cash on delivery)? I have been scammed with pp but never with WU Best advice I have is to know who you are dealing with, look for references is possible, but sometimes you just gotta take a risk to get a good deal chris Edited March 23, 2006 by bully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I've done a WU transaction with Luckyyy and all went smoothly...the fees turn out to be high (along with WU charges, my bank treated it as a cash advance on my credit card and charged me another $18!).....still Josh is a stand up guy and both he and Luckyyy have indicated that they do and will discount to compensate. Let's be honest, prices have dropped a bit lately...so I think it works out OK. Besides, between pp scrutiny and noob complaints, I wonder how much longer it will be before they pick off other dealers.....I think we might as well get used to it.

woody Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 NO worries with Josh, and this is coming from a guy that has yet to have dealt with Josh. You will be ok, he is a stand up guy..... Buckeye, are you from Ohio by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
