I'm freaking out!!!!

[MAC_addict_77]

I got some stuff off MUA and paid for them today. I have never done that before. I paid with paypal and now my paypal account shows that they "took" the money. Not one of them sent a reply to me saying that I paid for the items nor did they say when they would ship. OMG, I am so scared that I am gonna get swaplifted.

They "took" the money? Like are you saying you paid it and you got a reciept that they got the money or they went into the account somehow and actually got more money?

There really is no reason to freak out. I know I'm one of those people that I rarely tell people what I'm doing I just go ahead and do it!

So theres no reason to freak out after i ship it i tell them though. They probably thought that you could see they recieved the money so there was no need to tell you they got it and they probably wont tell you they shipped it until after they ahve done so

yeah they usually wait after they recieve the money to make sure its all paid up and then they send you the stuff thats how it usually works out.

Hey guys and thanks for calming me down LOL. I've just had a really bad experience with ebay before Christmas and I hate sending people money I don't know (not people here, I see most of you on here all the time

)
I bought a laptop and now I have no laptop or money, but anyways, that is a different story.
They finally PMed me tonight so everything SHOULD be ok. They said they would send tomorrow.
I hate being this way and I am not trying to judge people. I guess I would call it careful.

I know what that's like, when I was 16, I went to get a really expensive phone off an auction site, worth 350 bux (and thats a lot when you're in your first job at 16), and the chick ran off with my money, stupid thing is she got busted with the police coz she did this to about 15 other people, she was made to pay it back but actually couldn't coz shes got like 5 kids no job and nobody supporting her... so she ended up not having to pay a cent to anyone!

grrrrrr I hate it when bad stuff happens to good people... makes me mad...

but I learned my lesson and don't even look any anyone who doesn't have at least 98% positive feedback, no negatives, and at least 20 auctions to their name... even then I worry I'm still gonna get ripped off!

Isn't there buyer protection through eBay & Paypal? That really sucks...
