You gonna be kidding. Can't believe a senior member like you would fall for this kind of scam. Sorry for your loss.

Wire me $300 immediately and I will send to you the unspecified item you are so seriously requesting to purchase.

Correct me if i am wrong but isn't WU a very bad way of doing business? Isn't Paypal the best in it's class?

Like i said, please correct me if i am wrong.

so according to Fearsome Forehand, with PP as a seller after you got your money they can actually charge back and you can still lose money? in that case what about millions of transactions on the Bay that conducted via PP? now i am freaking nervous guys.

Yes...The buyer has all the clout with PayPal. PP can freeze not only your PayPal account but your attached checking/savings account. The bay is all about protecting the buyer these days. You can't even leave Bad Feedback for a buyer.. Am I not right? You can roast the Seller to be sure. There is limited protection from PayPal when you are outside the The Bay.

Not totally true. PayPal also screws buyers. I was done over BIGTIME by PayPal/e-Bay.

Seller got away scotfree, left me with a duff item and de-registered from both PayPal and e-Bay stat!

I wish there was a credible alternative but there isn't. They keep bleating on about buyer protection but when push comes to shove, they can be shite!

Pinkskunk · 12-21-2010, 05:16 AM

well as i learnt today you CAN NOT leave a Negative feedback about a buyer. The Feedback options was:

1) Positive
2) Leave feedback later

i mean, WTF??? what kind of feedback option is that??? might as well do the feedback for the seller themselves and not bother us doing it for them! that is the most ******** feedback option available to mankind.

when i am done with my inventory, i am not doing business on that site again.

Hi, I just received this e-mail:

Cheers,

Thank you for your post.
Usually nice people fall into scam because they think others are nice as well and trust them.

I recently posted in the Wanted section and received this curious but very dubious response. It may be a new name for this scam artist.
