what a bitch. People like that dont need to come on here. But he only has 12 or so posts, and doesnt look like he comes on too often. Always ask for pictures as well, not taken from another site. Always get pictures of their product and the condition its in.

At least youll get your money back, so thats chill

Good luck eBeating his ***.

call your bank and retrieve it. they will directly take your money back if its directly from ur bank account. if it is, they will mail you a form you have to fill out explaining why you withdrew it and whatnot.


also post any info of his so others can spam him/give him hard times

truth is scammers can not always be identified by their post counts, there are people who dont post a lot and once and a while they selling something they have legitamatly, Thats not the problem though

Ive seen on bigger buy / sell / trade boards people with thousands of posts even ten thousand posts just either do a big sale or big gb, and run with the money. Very common, so you cant always identify a scammer by posts. (though it is a good start) Also besides losing your "e-respect" theres little the police can or will do for you, especially if it involves multiple countries.

I feel bad for you and can only hope that you paid via Credit Card and not PayPal funds or your debit card funds...

If you paid by credit card you'll get your money back, if you didnt well, might need to fight with paypal a bit more

sorry to hear about this...
