FINANCES (A Place For Discussion)

Dope… Does it work?.. What kind of protection do you have?.. Fees percentages?.. Cause the only difference with Paypal is probably VirtaPay's cheaper/ free... And I'd rather be safe than be cheapskate...

It's only in the beginning stages, so you can't buy much yet… But once it does get released(which I'm almost sure it will) it will be as safe and secure as paypal.

Going to merge this thread into "FINANCES (A Place FOr Discussion)". Just an FYI.

EDIT: Merged

Joubin, only one more thing from me about this, nobody in this world will give you real money for free.

The website give out virtual money in a virtual currency, that at the current point you can not spend on anything at all…. So please keep this in mind. From their Terms & Condition page:

"All account balances are held in VirtaPay virtual currency. VirtaPay maintains a virtual currency that is autonomous and independent of all nations and governments. The VirtaPay currency is denominated in dollars and cents (similar to the currency of the United States and over 20 other countries). The VirtaPay currency is currently in a closed system, and cannot be exchanged or spent outside of this system. Our plans include person-to-person transactions, integration with merchants and shopping cart systems, and much more. As is the case with any currency, once the VirtaPay currency comes into widespread use, its value as weighted against other world currencies can and will fluctuate due to market forces such as supply and demand, etc."

so if you want a opinion from me, hands off! …..

I know rocket, but you never know, once the company shoots off… you never know what and who will accept virtual money.

This is similar to Bitcoin? I.e.: cash analogue?

Anyone ever had a paypal claim placed against them? If you are a Paypal Veteran with experience on this topic, please PM me ASAP! Need some advice…

[Seul]

You have a tracking #, lad. I'm pretty sure this suffices within CONUS to win the claim…

If not: I'll buy something from this fecker, have him ship it through 1st class int'l mail, and royally blackmail him into refunding you... I'm serious: this kind of behaviour will not stand. Hé is the in the wrong here.

Since there is no ebay thread, I figured I would post this here…

ebay upped the max final value fee on ebay from $50 to $100

9% final value fee + 3.9% paypal + shipping

[Seul]

I haven't used eBay to sell anything for years now. I do still use it to buy items, though… Easy and cheap. You will btw all soon see what my latest purchase was... Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday...

I'm forced to live in an extension to my parents home for obvious reasons with my 2 Siamese cats.

My only income is my sick benefit, half of which I give to my parents for food, electricity, general household, laundry etc

My last ex boyfriend left me with a big credit card debt

But I still manage to spend the change on the nicest clothes I can afford - my passion (I was the "junior" at Valentino in Sloane Street at 20 - most fun job I ever had!

Just paid off my MASSIVE CC bill last night. It went through today and all is good. I feel like the largest weight has been lifted!!! Now, I have to keep that thing in it's place…

[madmonday]

good job Lando, them things are bad news 

hopeful you can get a little emergency fund going & some savings now that you have that pesky monkey off your back.

[Guest]

Yeah…I try to leave behind my CC whenever I'm out and about and keep it at a distance when around the computer. (The act of seeking it out usually deters an expenditure.) They can get you in trouble.
