Rules Getting ripped off by a dp user

I was paying a dp user via subscription for a text link for over 6 months but the appeared on the website for a few weeks then it disappeared and everytime i try to contact him I never get any response. Does anyone know what to do? I paid using paypal

 

Just dispute the transaction.

 

if I do it thru paypal will paypal restrict my account? Because paypal doesn't cover intangible items (like text link purchases)

 

cancel your subscription and leave a negative iTrader.

 

Do realize though that the other party can leave you a negative itrader as well in retaliation. Have to admit that's why I haven't left ones for the two folks who screwed me over on their VPS'es.

 

Yup. this happens often. and this encourages scammer to play with no fear.

 

You should definitely put a negative itrader, if all means to contact dont work. You should also mention clearly that if he sends you a negative itrader, youll spoil his sale threads by exposing his scam again and again.
If you file a dispute, paypal wont restrict your account. At worse, youll loose the dispute.

 

That would get him banned.

 

I've done it before & Paypal refunded my money (& my account didn't get restricted).

I guess open a dispute, that will surely get his attention. Either he's gonna put your links back up, or go further with the dispute (which in this case you can escalate the claim).
It will take probably 1-2 weeks for Paypal to investigate, enough time for him to panic (if he wants to keep his Paypal account clean) & do something about it.

 

Thats the best solution I would recommend.. also keep following up with paypal.. If it comes true after verification his paypal account would be affected or banned..

 

you can leave one comment in a thread in regards to a bad deal. following someone around and posting negative comments in all their threads will only get you an infraction for attacking and harassing a member.

due diligence people, its not difficult.
