BadApple 13,081 Posted November 8, 2017 Use the trusted dealers on here - that's why we call them TRUSTED DEALERS Anything else needs to be treated with absolute caution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shedhead 0 Posted November 8, 2017 Yes, I will stick to the TD's. I? would prefer to use one who accepts Paypal. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,738 Posted November 8, 2017 Why so? Many dealers offer discount for WU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Any of the TD's on here are recommended but not all take Paypal. I use Western Union as there is an app for your phone and you get a discount from the TD for paying that way.

greg_r 81 Posted November 8, 2017 Plus Paypal is evil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raevyn00 0 Posted November 8, 2017 Yes but the WU then charges you to transfer the money so I feel like the discount just evens out does it not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The discount evens out the charges. With PP there is no discount, and most TDs charge a premium to cover their costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raevyn00 0 Posted November 8, 2017 So I think it would directly depend on how steep a discount the seller is offering as well as the price of the watch. Otherwise you might end up overpaying with WU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise you might end up overpaying with WU. That may be so, but last time I used Paypal, I was charged the cost of the watch plus the postage, and then 5% on top of that total to cover PP charges.

Oh wow that sucks!! Why would the TD have a PP charge on gift to f&f? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My experience was exact same as above. Watch/Shipping/5% In another thread a TD explained that they cannot get 'gifts' of large sums of money every day otherwise they would be flagged as suspicious.
