Re: Western Union question

That's weird then because every time I've sent Western Union the agent has stressed to not lose the MTCN code because it's the only way to pick up the money.

Also, found this:

I think Coinabul should send back 50% to the buyer to split the losses since the USPS are dip shits.

Edit: Or 100% if it wasn't in Coinabul's Terms of Service that any package covered by insurance that was lost in transit and not paid for by the USPS would put the buyer at fault.

I think at least 50% should be refunded either way. You're the one making profit and providing a SAFE service so you should take the fault whenever the buyer doesn't receive his product, no matter what.

Up until the item reaches the buyers hands it should be your responsibility unless stated otherwise in the Terms of Service.

When you send the payment they give you an MTCN code. The one receiving can only pick up the $$$ with the MTCN code. You can also put a secret question but I have never done that.

I bought a $100 e-gift card off someone for $60 and it got taken out of my account 1 hour later. These really aren't safe to buy unless it's a physical gift card or it's already deposited onto the account. Good luck with your sale, anyone taking this should have some collateral in his hands.

Western Union's honestly one of my last options due to the extensive fee's (unless he covers fee's or is from China), I'll check it out though.

Re: Is Bitcoin Your Main Income Stream?
by
BigFigurez
on 04/03/2013, 06:14:37 UTC
Just wondering how many (if anyone) now has Bitcoin activity or investment as their main income stream?

Nosey people, just worry about yourself, and not everyone else, who cares if there main income is bitcoins.

I'm curious as to see the average income of people in the BTC business. It seems like the large exchangers are making a shit load (1M+ a year?)

Get your numbers straight I doubt any exchange is netting a 1million a year. Just cause some exchanges have had over $1 millions pass thru doesn't mean they are making a million. I would guess after lawyers, bank fees, and employees they probably net around $200K to $400k

I never said they did I was simply asking a question if they did accumulate even AROUND that much a year.

[WTB] 10 Bitcoins

Looking to buy up to 10 Bitcoins

I can pay with Paypal, Western Union, Amazon, or any other safe method I can use my debit card with. With Amazon you will pay me and I will ship the item directly to your address, I will not use Escrow for Amazon trades but I'm fine with using Escrow for anything else. PM me or post here to discuss details.

Can someone link me to the bet between Matthew Wright and the community?

Thanks, so he's apologizing for taking people's money but he's still making them pay? Is there a link available to the original thread where this all played out?

Why would you just send them $1000 without doing any research? I've used them before for amounts up to $80, but everytime I wanted to exchange funds I always sent it in increments. So say I needed $150, I would send $30, $40, $80. It only took about 20-30 minutes longer and reduced the risk of getting scammed. I wouldn't trust them with $1000 up front but who knows they might be legit.

Re: Selling $715 Amazon Account Balance [BTC]

I'm most definitely interested, but I'm pretty nervous/worried. And the problem is NOT that I'm worried I won't get the money into my account. I'm worried that after I get the money, the escrow funds get released & you are paid, you could simply tell Amazon there is fraudulent activity on your account and wham-bam-triple-am! Royally screwed..Sorry, I've been scammed many times in the past. I now try to think of every possible angle and iron it out ahead of time so I'm no longer surprised.
agreed, the only safe way of doing this deal is to have the seller buy and ship a physical item to your house.

But then you may be in possession of stolen property, and have to return it, in which case you have to seek retribution (return of BTC or USD equivalent) from the thief.

Yeah so can virtually anything you buy on the internet, what's your point? It's been established that I do have other offers and if I was going to scam somebody or stolen merchandise don't you think I would of taken my first offer? If you're implying I'm a thief you're being ridiculous, anyone who's interested can look at the redemption history if they want to, it's mostly $1-10 codes from multiple people doing surveys.

With every online payment there's a chance of reversal, even with Western Union. The best I can do is transfer the account information into your name including email, home address, PO Box etc. or have Escrow hold the funds while I ship the item to you. Once the item has shipped the funds will be released.

If you get on chat with a representative you can have the balance transfered to a different account via the recipients email address....Probably best way to do it.

I just talked to Amazon and they said they can not do this.
