Hey,

I'm just bought my first mini cooper r53 indy blue and i was thinking about upgrading some mods, and i found some on the forum from another member. I was wondering if someone could tell me about their experience paying with paypal and how to write a feedback when the transaction is completed.

 

i use paypal for everything online, it has a great insurance that you can fight back if you dont get items or if they arent what they said they were. make sure you NEVER send money as a gift. even though you may skip the fees if you send it as a gift you cant fight for it if something happens

how do you write a feedback if things go good or bad?

 

After the seller marks the product sold, you will get an email..or manually create feedback with their username....with a link to the add....you fill it in. Simple.
local pickup or meet-up is a good way...esp for big or $$ items, or even smaller local stuff!!
Look at past history...a new member selling or buying a bunch of stuff can be a cause of caution...remember, the more background you can find on a seller...like length of involvement, lots of posts, maybe a few good prior sales or buys to know they are real....a seller with a trackrecord and longevity might even be worth paying a bit more...simply less risk.

 

A little tip I do is. Say your coming over to look at them or even another NAM member who lives in the area is going to look for you.. If they start making excuses its time to run.

 

You can also ask for an eBay handle to see the users feedback on that site as well. It is not always a guarantee, but it can sometimes be useful.

 

Both my husband and I have purchased off members here and use paypal. We haven't had any issues. (Rims, CAI's, heat shield, and other bits). I recommend looking at their profile for any existing feedback also.

 

I have purchased lots of stuff from other NAM members, with great success. I would HOPE that we would all be civil and Fair with each other, as well as trusting.

I like to think of NAM as a nice, honest online community of fellow mini enthusiasts

I have however, heard of one or 2 incidents where people did not get items they payed for, or other similar issues :(

shame on whomever that was!

p.s. to Gerald Lee,
best "bang for the buck" would be that Alta intake tube I saw go up recently! really frees up some HP!

 

your so smart

 

Ill look into it
