They have their own claims and resolution process so, if the seller runs off with your money, Paypal will simply deduct it from their bank account and refund it you. </p> <p><a href="https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&#038;content_ID=security/safe_online_shopping" rel="nofollow">https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-.....e_shopping</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480409 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 23:29:45 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 480409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good to me! Just let me know. It's no trouble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480354 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 22:33:11 +0000 Mo 480354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Andrea, SO nice of you to offer. I don't know - I haven't heard back from the poster yet. But I really, really, appreciate you offering. I suppose they will likely want to just sell it first come first serve but maybe I'll luck out! I will certainly let you know if it is still a possibility come Jan! Thanks again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480336 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 22:15:30 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 480336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina, I will be in Puyallup (for a dog show, what else?) in January. Would that help? Can things wait until then? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480273 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 20:10:07 +0000 modgrl 480273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a certain level of trust involved with any Craigslist transaction. Ask for more pix, do a search for the person to make sure they are legit and negotiate someway to send money by PayPal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480260 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:35:19 +0000 Kari 480260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry, Mo-I'm also quite far away from Puyallup. Hope that someone can help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480248 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:10:55 +0000 Mo 480248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks anyway, Anna! I didn't really expect anyone to be able to, just an outside hope I haven't heard back from the poster yet anyway. They may of course just be ignoring my email due to the mailing request. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480246 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:07:32 +0000 annagybe 480246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, but Puyallup is about an hour one way from where I live, without traffic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480235 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:29:21 +0000 Mochi 480235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I had thought Paypal was a method that gave you recourse in situations like that, or held onto the money or something. You should investigate that, because it might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480221 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:46:05 +0000 Angie 480221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. Got it, Malina. This makes complete sense. Thanks for explaining. I guess it's a giveaway that I don't use Craig's List. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480219 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:41:34 +0000 Mo 480219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for clearing that up Angie - with Craig's list you deal directly person to person. Usually cash and in person. In theory, they could mail it if I PayPal them funds, but there is the trust issue - will they indeed mail or just run off with my transferred funds. And likewise, they may not trust me to send them money if they mail first. Craig'slist is not protected or overseen like eBay, it's more of a global want ad kind of thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480180 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:50:16 +0000 Angie 480180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Puyallup is a good few hours from outside downtown Seattle where I live, Malina. Perhaps there is a YLF'er who lives in that area - or at least closer to it?</p> <p>I don't quite understand why posting is not an option. Tell me more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480175 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:45:34 +0000 Mo 480175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Freckles, it doesn't hurt to ask, I figure. I know it's a busy time of year, though, and have absolutely no expectations. Who knows? Maybe I can work out mailing with the lister after all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480173 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:43:29 +0000 Freckles 480173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck Mo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heck-of-a-request-seattle-stand-in-for-me#post-480163 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:30:52 +0000 Mo 480163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know this is WAY outside of the realm of a normal, could you do me a little favor, type of thing, but I spied a Craigslist item I've been dying for. Great luck, until I realized it's near SEATTLE and I'm in FL! I have emailed the poster about mailing but then there is the issue of giving/receiving money before or after an item is shipped and someone is bound to feel vulnerable in such a transaction! </p> <p>Anyway, I had the crazy outside hope that maybe a Seattleite near Puyallup might be able to help me out. I know it's a LOT to ask but thought I'd throw it out there. If you have the time and or inclination to be my shopping stand in, please message me. I'd be happy to renumerate in some way. </p>
