I'm willing to bet this is hands down the most embarassing moment in Liberal's History on PDD...........I think only rabbits may run faster than you guys did from this simple and PROFITABLE challenge. |
You're fucking thick. Since Tito (and I) opened up for the possibility for calling from abroad tiesto14 has left the thread. He's the one that has chickened out.

Hm, and how exactly does that work? I've never used pay pal before.

Allow me to clarify on Paypal and the "Buyer Protection" program: Don't listen to brasco - he's mixing things up.
I've had to use both Paypal and (sadly) the protection program and basically here's what you want to know:
Paypal:
- You get a paypal.co.uk account by giving them your email address and your credit card details.
- They charge you $1.95 and along with the charge (on your next account statement) there is an "activation" code, that you use to verify your account. You might have to call or email your bank to get the code, though, and depending on how common eBay trading is in Croatia, this might involve talking to bank clerks who haven't got a clue as to what you're talking about.
- If you don't get the code, then there is a maximum amount that you can send to others (and maybe also one for recieving - can't remember). This limit is about $1000, I think, so if this is a one shot deal then it shouldn't be a problem.
- Now, if somebody send money to your Paypal account, you can have them deposited on your bank account, which will probably mean that you have to pay some sort of tax/customs fee. Alternatively, you can keep the money in your Paypal account and use them to buy stuff online.
- If you pay for something through Paypal (e.g. an eBay auction), then Paypal grabs 4% of the total amount in fees from the seller.
Buyer Protection program:
- This is something offered by eBay (who owns paypal) - not Paypal. When you win an auction at eBay, which is covered by the program, then you as the buyer are guaranteed to get your money back from eBay if the seller doesn't send you the merchandise. However, for the guarantee to be activated, you need to pay the auction through Paypal.
- If the stuff you bought doesn't show up, you send printouts of the auction, Paypal reciept, emails and the like to eBay HQ, and (if they side with you) they will transfer the amount minus $70 to your Paypal account.
So, if you and tiesto14 want to do this using the program, you would have to set up an eBay auction (say: "I'll call any show you want"), with a start price of $100+phone bill, and tiesto14, would buy that from you - and then he is insured by eBay. However, to set up an auction you need a credit card, and eBay will charge you some percentage of the sell price as well as a couple of cents as listing fee.
If tiesto14 feels that you have not lived up to your promise, then he will send emails and an mp3 of the show to eBay, and they will contact you looking for proof that you called Rush. If you can give this proof then tiesto14's case will fall. If not, then eBay will pay him about $30 (100-70), ban you as a seller, and maybe try to get the police on your ass (I guess not, considering the small amount).
Hope that all made some sense.
If you really want to do this, I would say that the easiest method would be for tiesto14 to Paypal-send the money to someone you both trust (like me ), and then that person would Paypal-send the money to you or him depending on whether you call Rush or not.
