I would never pay with anything but Paypal on the internet in general, unless you really trust the site. Doing anything less is just asking to get ripped off. I have been using it since 2004 and I have yet to be ripped off.

One or two people have complained about odd charges on their PayPal account, but it's generally safe. However, due to their shady business practices involving FansProject's Shadow Scythe, and this being the SECOND time they've had credit card problems of this exact nature, I wouldn't give 'em a dime of my business.
Curt's in no hurry to get it fixed either. He has responded to one or two people asking about this situation, but that's about it. Authorize.net is the company responsible for handling their credit card transactions, but it's been said it's a subdivision of Visa and I sincerely doubt Visa's ripping off their own customers.
Funny thing is, millions use Authorize.net and no one seems to be complaining. It's only when you keep your card info and use it on TFSource that this problem arises. It also happened over at PSN with the PS3, but their servers were hacked.
TFSource's have not been.

I'm new to the hobby, and this was my first trade ever, so kinda sucks. Also, I'm based in the UK, so despite having his address details, I doubt theres much I can do to retrieve my figures.

You are right that does suck! ALWAYS check someones feedback before you do any kind of business with them and its cool to be able to get the figures you want,but dont fall into the price traps set by SCALPERS who try to convince buyers that a $12.00 figure is worth $30.00 or higher.Be patient,and the prices usually go down to affordable levels or you can find HONEST people to do business with.

That is a tough thing to do. Especially when people are IMMATURE and like to be DISHONEST by trickery. Good thing there are others out there though that are willing to do the homework to keep others from being screwed by members who claim to be honest. One guy in particular just tried to do this. He got mad and started calling people names rather than defending himself honestly. Even now he claims he is being HONEST, but sweep your local TJM and Marshalls before you resort to a price hike. If the sweep fails, then feel confident that you got the best possible price available.
Another tip is NEVER agree to a purchase for cash or money order. You need to be backed up in case someone tries to take your money and run. Giving someone cash first in a transaction is ballsy thing to do, especially to sellers who like to brag about how HONEST they are. Usually they are the crooks.
Unfortunatly,thats part of what you have to deal with when you buy,sell,or trade online and I know what you are going thru because I've gotten ripped-off before but it doesnt happen that often on TF websites that are monitored with a professional attitude and the crooks always get weeded out sooner or later.kurttkrueger wrote:That was the thing with Hybrid Prime, he had pages and pages of excellent feedback over on TFW2005.

When I agreed the trade with him, his feedback was good. Not much you can do in the situation!

Problem is, credit cards will provide you far more comfort and safety than PayPal will. A CC company will dispute the charges and fight tooth and nail for you.
PayPal will knuckle under to anyone with enough force and leave you footing the bill.
This is one of the reasons why people prefer to use credit cards over PayPal. Not to mention, most websites of TFSource's supposed caliber are supposed to be able to handle credit cards without worry. They give you a false sense of security, really.
BBTS, on the other hand, they not only give you the sense of security, they also back it up.
TFSource never received any business from me, and it doesn't look like that will change any time soon either.

This is true about the credit cards and in some cases if the sellers are honest,they will accept money orders.I used to use Paypal and ended up getting shafted by a dishonest seller who would only accept paypal,got my money,then dissapeared and paypal never re-imbersed me although the sales were recorded.I guess it depends on the seller's honesty.
