If he would still complete the deal that would be nice and i would appreciate it, but i donÂ´t think so…
Before the deal he answered every PM directly and just after i did the Payment he stoped :/

I had a run in with him last night and it was actually funny how it worked out. I did a small test order and after I sent payment he responded claiming he would get me the FTC in a week or so. I immediately smelled the BS and filed a complaint. As expected paypal cancelled the transaction and refunded me my hard earned $$ within minutes. I attempted to get in contact with admins on the site so that they could take action but I was unsuccessful. Just so you know if you decide to take the risk of doing business over paypal again at the very least make sure they have rep on the site and make sure they are using a verified paypal account. Oh and if you don’t receive your FTC within say 10-15 minutes or the transaction information at least then that’s a sign of trouble.

I forgot to mention that I have dealt with a few legit paypal sellers and they all delivered the FTC I paid for in about 5 minutes of me sending them payment.

Yeah i told paypal about the conflict too, but didnÂ´t receive my money back yet.
I opened a conflict on paypal too, but i have to wait until the 7.12.13 to order buyers secure (“KÃ¤ufer Schutz” in german) and finaly get my money back…
How did you get yours back so quick?

Except of the trade with him i had a very good trade with zerodrama before, i paid him and got my coins asap :) Every trade should work this way!

I think it might be because you are in Europe and I’m in the U.S., so they have different policies based on the laws of the respective countries. It sucks we have sh*t people in this world that try and pull this stuff on legitimate buyers/sellers.

Exactly itÂ´s only 20$, thats why you allways do a test-trade before you send big money to someone onine.
He is from Malaysia… maybe he needet the money badly, you never know why these people do it.
I hope he wonÂ´t run into big problem with paypal now.

WouldnÂ´t it be a good idea to link forum and market Accounts showing “positive trades/ neutral trades / negative trades” under the users Avatar?
This could work with some sort of “Request a Trade” System to open a trade in the forum before the actual trade takes place.
You would be able to see if a user allready had bad trades/scammed others, like CapeVrob did here.

We need an eye for scams, there’s a lot of Newbie about. Scamming people is not a victimless crime and is not fair or legal.

Perhaps we should have a known / potential scamms thread under security?

pyxis

Please use an escrow service for transactions of this kind.

Exchanges. People don’t seem to be wanting to sell them on here at the moment, which is understandable if you believe in the currency.
