I’ve been enjoying reading and participating on TMC while I wait for my Model S to be delivered. I’m looking to purchase the arachnid rims from a forum member. They say Tesla still has the rims and can ship directly to my SC. Any advice on how best to execute the deal from a payment and logistics perspective is appreciated. Some questions: Best way to pay (just in case something goes wrong)? How to verify with Tesla they have them and can assign ownership to me? Thanks!
Use PayPal invoice so u get buyer protection ...also look at members profile ..have they been around TMC for awhile ? Did they just register ...I’m not saying that alone will protect you but ..having Paypal protection has helped me for piece of mind on large dollar transactions
Get a photo ID scan, cell phone number and email. Facebook account would be good. Also a signed sale contract.
@P85_DA is PayPal invoice different that just paying the person directly via PayPal? I thought payments via the service were covered.
PayPal invoice the seller will incur PayPal fees ..PayPal gift is like sending money to a family or friend the sender will incur a small charge ..since it’s considered “gift” u don’t get full buyer protections
You could ask Tesla to send you a message when they are shipping the wheels. Would be good confirmation.
