^ yeahh scammers are funny shit..

i wonder what they can do though if you give them your paypal email and full name.
i mean, they can pay thru there, but if you don't ship the item, then it's good on your side ain't it?

chargeback though Paypal. you should know that Paypal offers ABSOLUTELY no seller protection.

make sure when you buy anything thru paypal you fund it via CREDIT CARD not a bank account and NEVER link you bank account to paypal.

with CC funding you can chargeback though your CC and paypal cant do shit.

my friend got scammed even though paypal ruled in his favour and deposited the $ in his account. the buyer did a chargeback through CC and PP took back the $.

tell the guy to send cash and you will knock a few grand off the price :lol

twitchyzero 08-04-2009 01:46 PM

tell him you'll make it cheaper if he ships some exotic nigerian pet.
