Does Paypal insure losses on eBay?

They wont pay if an ex-girlfriend steals your money they call it "Friendly Fraud" and if you can make a claim it can take you or the police a year to get your transaction records.

Best advice open a small seperate bank account and keep a low balance eg. $100 so that if you get ripped off you dont lose everything.

Can you still sell on Ebay with your PayPal and eBay account Unlinked and use them separate?

I have been buying and selling on eBay for 3 years and have always wondered if I can still sell items on there if I unlink my eBay and PayPal account.

Right now whenever I purchase I have to login to paypal so I can complete the purchase. I checked my account settings tab and found the unlink option and clicked it. I know I can still pay for stuff but can I still sell on eBay with my accounts unlinked? My sellers automatic payment method is still paypal.

Much help will be appreciated thanks in advance

Is there fake 925 sterling silver in eBay?

Oh Yes! Lots of fake silver on EBay.

I sell true silver on Ebay and am fed up of being classed with the many crooks! Not just China but also U.K sellers. EBay turn a blind eye. Its a big issue, too big for me to fight. I always test purchases now and have found most "Too good to be true items" are too good to be true and are shocking fakes. I leave FB to warn other sellers , only to find it removed by EBay

Is permethrin better than cypermethrin?

Permethrin and cypermethrin are both synthetic pyrethroids used as insecticides, but they have different properties and applications. Permethrin is often preferred for treating clothing and for use in public health due to its effectiveness against a wide range of insects and its lower toxicity to humans and pets. Cypermethrin, on the other hand, is commonly used in agricultural settings and may have a broader spectrum of activity against certain pests. The choice between the two depends on the specific application and target pests.

Does the Latin term for buyer beware imply that the buyer educate himself on the product for purchase?

`Caveat emptor`, or, `Let the buyer beware` usually refers to the actual business deal itself. Is the person doing the selling telling you the truth, or is it being embellished? Is what he says the same as what the contract says, regardless of interpretation by the seller? What's in the `fine print` section and most importantly, is anything being hidden from you by omission?

Of course, you should educate yourself on the product(s) of interest. The more you know, the less likely you'll have the wool pulled over your eyes.

It also helps you to determine the knowledge and integrity of the sales person.

ALWAYS as questions in your negotiations. There's not such thing as a `stupid question` but there are things like `stupid answers`. Learn as much as you're able, to be able to know the difference.

And if you hear a little voice in your head saying, `Something's wrong here`, chances are, it is. Run, don't walk, but RUN to another dealer or someone that has the same products for offer and at least, check them out before you make your decision.

Just some advice, but it could save you some big mistakes down the road.
