Flippa pisses me off

Anyone else here use Flippa much?

Yesterday I bought some domains that seemed to good to be true and it was. Worst part is that it was a buy it now so I had to do a Paypal transaction to secure it. No option to commit then do due diligence.

I really think that in situations like that Flippa should only require 10% to lock in the BIN. Or what if you want to us Escrow instead of BIN, what are you to do?

So then to make things worse I see one of the domains I tried to snag that ended up being stolen listed again today.
 


I've always believed the "gain" comes from "risk". It was a calculated risk.

The risk was that the funds would get tied up in Paypals hands for 30-60 days.

Always pay via your credit card on paypal. Then start a charge back if paypal won't play ball and reverse the transaction.
 
Flippa is definitely the problem. You made no error. If you think about it, your whole life might be like that?
 
I don't understand why were you in such a hurry to spend your money, double check and triple check, these days even established sites are not trustworthy.
