    Then you shouldn't have scammed for it in the first place.

    Looking at the feedback, you went on a mad buy/sell spree in the last 2 weeks, after having only a couple transactions before then (and you registered 1 1/2 years ago)

    So to me, and everyone else, you are a scammer.


    I bet he (or a 'friend') will create a thread soon, trying to sell a $250 limited account.

    I still recommend waiting until things are sorted out, but it seems like he's trying to get it taken care of.

    He did just offer to send the domains back, but I'll give it a few days to see if he can get things fixed. Unless he disappears for good, I think we should just be calm and see if it resolves.

    it is a canadian account you are going to need to do bank verification
    you were doing too many transactions for any unverified account
    anyway pp have taken my money also so if you could push the
    domain back I would be very grateful.
    But unfortunately you have already SOLD it so what is going to happen

    Everyone please note:

    If you currently have a chargeback from me I am sorry, it was PP that filed it. I am out money but don't want to be considered a scammer. I worked all week to get paid from trusted members here like "leede, ScottFish, PaulaSmiles, and etc" none of this money was stolen. I am going to try to un-limit the account but I figure it will be unsuccessful.

    If you received a chargeback PM me and copy/paste the details, if you have e-gold I can send you whatever the chargeback was for to make up for it in e-gold unless I can return the product to you! Anyways, the negative iTrader I got from skyler is something to laugh at, a negative over 10 cents xD he is buying iTraders ;)

    Are you sure this was a legit email from Paypal? I received the exact email the other day and it was a fake. Hopefully you did not click on the link in the email or you may have created worse problems.

    I hope you get it all straightened out!:(

    Honestly, I think (and my dad even thinks this) that paypal works do side work, like the dirty workers...kinda like dirty cops. They randomly monitor accounts that seem easy to limit - ones that look like they are with `fake`names, `fake addresses`and cmon I put 242 legross street or something like that lol...just as bad as 123 fake street, anyways, I think there is a little dishonesty with some of the workers and they are pocketing some money ;)

    Oh well, not the first time I suffered this :(

    Thanks for someone believing qprojects ;)

    I guess so...I can provide proof that I never stole it, leading to the first few transactions on the PayPal account which was payment from PaulaSmiles for forum posting :)

    Guys, it's real easy. Just don't do any transactions with him until it gets cleared up. There's nothing you can really do about it till then, and bashing him in a thread isn't going to make him want to work with you. If somebody is legit, then they'll try to work with you, until they get fed up with everything and end up just saying "screw it". I made the thread to warn people not to do any business with him. If he fixes everything and everyone gets their money back, or products, then great. He's a stand up guy. If not, then what can you do? Your best bet to get your money back is to just be patient and wait it out. Either you'll get your money back or not. You stand a much better chance, though, by being civil about it.

    In other words, quit yelling "scammer" until it's been proven. Right now it's just speculation, but give the guy a chance. It's also possible that he's getting screwed over just like the rest of us. What can you do?

    I actually respect Bishop for his choice to make this thread actually. However, the way he handled it so far isn't the best. I offered a refund of the domains, or money by e-gold yet he didn't choose either. Anyone else I can send the money in e-gold...

    Well, I don't really want e-gold, and I would rather have the money then get the domains back. I have no problem waiting a few days to see if you can get things taken care of. I'm not hounding you for them, or for the money. I don't feel that there's anything wrong with my choice. If you really want to send them back, then I'll gladly take them and sell them again.

    Actually, on second thought, I'll go ahead and take the e-gold. I will PM you my account number. I can always turn around and sell it for Paypal funds.

    Well I too have dealt with ghost.down and had funds sent by him in my account held. Luckily I sold two domains that to me meant nothing, in fact I got them both for free.
    Until PayPal and ghost.down sort this out and a resoultion is made I'm not going to call him a scammer or anything.
    I'd also have to agree with Bishop though, that until its sorted just stay away from dealing with him, as much as that might upset ghost.down, I meant no offence :)

    I am offering refunds for any chargebacks pp filed in my name through egold - glen pm the domains i may still have them to return to you.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, PP would side with you if they weren't thiefs but they may call me the winner even though I'm limited and will never see the money...
