Be cautious of ghost.d0wn - until further notice

    I sold him 6 domain names in the Domains thread for a total of a little more than $13. Payment was made quickly, and I pushed the domains immediately. One transaction was on 11/9, and one was 11/11. Today, both of them were reported as unauthorized transactions.

    The name on the paypal account was Benefit Lawrence.

    Now, I have to deal with paypal to try and resolve the issue, so I can get my money back. I've never had this problem before, so I'm not sure how difficult it will be.

    I sent him a PM this morning, asking what was going on and haven't gotten any reply yet.

    The only thing that I noticed was that he tried to sell the domains shortly after buying them from me. Nobody was interested in them, which is why I'm guessing that he reported the transaction to paypal.

    Anyway, until I come back and say otherwise, I recommend avoiding transactions with him.

    There is also another DP member who does this. I think he is Mike something. It has been 2-3 times he gets my product and then puts unauthorized transaction over paypal. and to be honest paypal sucks they usually give their money back without any question. That is why i never keep my money in paypal.

    For one bad iTrader, a person can't be considered scam. Unless it was for a ton of money

    He replied to me finally.
    Sounds like he just got screwed over somehow... Not sure what anybody can do to resolve it, though.

    I don't know, i just don't like him anyway. He tried to FORCE me trade egold with him by sending me the paypal anyway after I said id rather not trade with him. He Pm'd me saying "You have my money I want my egold now" I refunded to the same account above. Did you get your domains back OP?

    I am not happy about this either, $250 sitting there can't access it.
    I got a red itrader from a ten cent deal, why would I charge that back...anyways, look I hate this, PP ruins my life...I don't know what to do, trying to figure this out, just let the chargeback start and fight it please. As I am limited, you will win..
