stubhub yes, paypal no, read the paypal rules, event tickets are not covered


Not sure about that one. In 2006 I bought tix to the Bama game but had to sell them. I sold them through Ebay (just like I bought them) 2 months later Pay pal said the transaction was classified a fraud and my account was debited the whole amount. My feedback was positive. An older couple commented they loved the game. Called the lady. She said her credit card co screwed up and disputed every charge for the last 90 days. We both called paypal to clear it up. My account was shut down! She sent me a check with no protections I wouldn't pay her back when it was over. 2 months later paypal credited back my account and unfroze it. I sent her a check and all is good now. I will never sell anything again on EBAY, In my opinion the buyers have plenty protection.

note: paypal only works that way when ebay is used, useing paypal alone has no protection

BUYERS BEWARE!!! I've had 4 emails all basically saying the same thing when I questioned them about purchasing tickets for this game. Send me your name, address, and ebay id and you can send money to ebay agent and they'll hold it until you get the tickets. This is a SCAM. Ebay doesn't use agents. Don't let the assholes steal your money. Also, check the IP address for the sender once they contact you. It looks pretty sketchy when they say they're in Alabama and can't make the game but their IP address says California or the UK.

If you can't meet them in person for the exchange, don't do it at all. Don't let these lazy people make a living off of screwing you!!
