    So I bid and win a site over at NamePros...
    http://www.namepros.com/developed-sites-for-sale/299810-teenbusinessforum-com.html

    The seller and I are talking over AIM. He is like "rushing" me to send payment by PayPal ($30) and so I send it to him, and he goes away without sending the domain and/or site.

    I'm so pissed. :mad:
    I filed a claim in PayPal because that's usually a sign of a scam, but the fuckers at NamePros are trying to defend him.

    Who the hell goes away after receiving a payment in a transaction; its suspicious and I've been scammed just like that before.

    I fucking hate NamePros's n00b fucks.. :mad:
    [rant rant rant blah blah you can rant too]

    That does suck, DP is much more trustful than namepros, I don't even go there.. Hopefully your claim will go through.

    Why'd you send payment if he was rushing you? That's usually a sign of a scammer.

    Looks like it is being sorted. :)

    Plus it was over a weekend. Not all webbies like to work at weekends, I always do work over the weekends but Mon to Fri is usually the standard fare for many webmasters.

    Just my thoughts.

    As for one forum being better than the other, IMO they are both great webmaster forums, well established and well run, usually any scammers are swiftly dealt with by the staff team.
