[HELP] Refunding at paul-rich.com

Enjeve · 04-27-2021, 07:58 PM

I am an absolut newbie in SE'ing, however, I might be good at acting.
I want to buy one item at paul-rich.com. If the method that Im going to use seems good, I might even order more than just one item. How much in total costs can I go before it looks suspicious?

What method might be the best for me, that my refund is almost 100% safe?

I can pay with all paying methods on paul-rich.com.

I'm thinking of the missing Item method, but to determine whether It's suitable, It's Imperative to know the precise weight.

Why is the weight for the missing item so important? Couldn't i just go for the DNA?

If It's heavy enough to register a weight on consignment and the company cross-checks the records on the carrier's manifest, then the SE will fail.

Of course you can. I'm simply keeping your options open.

The DNA Is a universal carrier-based method, hence unless you're SEing a sports car (so to speak) weights and dimensions are Insignificant.

Yeah you're right. What would be 'the best' method in my case? And which payment should I use for it?

EDIT: The weight including the packaging is round about 220g. I think that EB / Missing Item wont be a good option for it then.

If the Item Is extremely light (< 120 grams), the missing Item method will suffice.

In terms of the payment system, If the SE fails, PayPal allows you to file a dispute/claim with the Intention to reverse the transaction.

Thank you for all replies! I'll order a single item at first and try to DNA them. When I see how they react, I might order more items at once in the future!
