in reference to the original question about Paypal I have a mechanic (aircraft) friend that accepted payment for maintenance on a transient plane. the owner then tried to reverse the charges on the work and the mechanic had to prove ( fortunately he took plenty of photos) his case but it took...

When I bought a project car by cash my wife was in the truck and armed (you don’t want to mess with her she is a very good shot).we had sent the address we were going to to a 3rd party and he had orders to check in every 15 min until we exited the property. Fortunately all went well and I got...
