Guaranting shipment when buying from another TDF user?
(Was not sure where to post this.)
I am curious how people here guarantee the shipment and purchase of dolls from other members here in the Sales section?
Can you get your money back using PayPal if the doll you bought from another person does not ship the doll?
Thanks in advance,
~Mann.

You'd definitely want a tracked package. Sellers write dates on cards with the doll. If this was not done, seller/scammer could have pics posted from months ago and when you get doll it's all beat up bad and condition is nothing like pics.SocalGuy wrote:TDF Friends,

If seller did not ship, Paypal would side with you. and you'd be refunded. I went through that on Ebay with a purchase. Seller had no proof of shipping, so I was refunded.

I might of been looking at this one too. I know that using( a money request) or( an invoice) is better safe option. Friends and fam. unsecured.biscaynenick wrote:Try to establish contact by phone, I was just about to purchase a used realdoll from here but the seller would not send a PayPal invoice, requested payment by friends and family, and references to the doll as "the item " were enough red flags for me to take a pass on the deal. Not to mention the seller didn't know if it was a fixed or removable, and requested payment in advance for local pick up. The listing I speak of is still active.

This is correct. It is the sellers responsibility to prove he shipped it.RGC_0767 wrote:You'd definitely want a tracked package. Sellers write dates on cards with the doll.

Beware that Paypal only provides this coverage if you are buying a product from an auction or a purchase.
They do not provide coverage if you send payment as a gift.
Some sellers will ask you to send payment as a gift, they will tell you it is cheaper, saves on Paypal fees. You are not covered by the Paypal guarantee if you do this.

Contact the sellers through the pm system. Get to know them a bit. Exchange email addresses and phone numbers. Find out where they live. If the seller is honest, none of this is a problem. Ask for details as in, What will the doll be shipped in, Issues regarding the doll, If she has been stored, how. Then you can get to payment possibilities after agreeing on a price as well as who the shipper will be and tracking numbers.
This Forums for Sale section has been a Godsend. It has allowed me to own 3 brand new dolls at a fraction of their original cost. Being at the right place (here) at the right time and a little luck helps tremendously. Find your doll and take your shot.
