I have guys like that piece of S*#T to thank for making trading online harder for us new to the site or have never traded on here yet, and most all buyers have the fear of this happening to them.

Sorry to hear this happened to you, I do agree with alot of ppl here and start your claim as soon as you can.

As for the mods not agreeing with vigilante justice i do not agree with that at all, everyone should be warned about this guy, anytime he posts it should be tracked until his trader feedback goes up and he is found honoring is deals.

just my 2cents

My $.02, file a PP claim now! The seller has no pics of anything he's selling, several people have asked for them.

Having that many FS threads in such a short time and low post count along with zero feedback doesn't automatically mean scammer BUT it's not a good sign either.

He knows how to post pics, the ones he does have posted are copied from manufacturer sites though.....

If the site had a certain number of posts and time before selling, This wouldn't be an issue most of the time.

New guidelines are in place but we're waiting for IB to turn them on. It's out of the mods and administrations hands at this point.

We really need to pay attention to these people with no trader rating!!!!! I hope this dirt bag gets what he has coming one day and gets the sh*t beat out of him.... Its harsh, but i mean it!!!!!!!
This is a SCAM! Who in the world would bypass CASH IN HAND and ask for Paypal instead? I bet he asked to be paid as a gift too. is he selling so that he can pay for his expenses while he awaits his lottery proceeds from his african kingdon?

If they move as fast about fixing this site as they are the RCU site, that will be somewhere between never and forget about it.

RCU's entire site has been having server issues for weeks and they're doing nothing about it.

It's sad to see two good sites turned into "all about the ad revenue" silos.

Im actually suprised to see mods and admin do something besides ban and suspend people. Hopefully they will get the certain number of post before selling quick. I really think that will help this site out ALOT.

Sorry for telling you about that f/s post on the rx8 i feel a little guilty but i knew that you were looking for 1 seeing as they were on back order everywhere. I tried to get this guy to respond back to me also and he did not. But if he does...

As far as I know, if paypal is holding his money it's because his account is unverified. Did you notice his account status on your invoice?

If that's the case, that guy is really stupid. Why try to scam when you have a half-assed account and you can't touch the money?

You should have no problem getting your money back. Good luck!
