    So I am talking to this guy for about 30 mins through PM's he says paypal me the money and he will immediately push the domain name to me? Well I send him his 100 dollars and bam it's been 2 hours and nothing from him. He wont return PM's. His iTrader rating is good.

    Maybe you should wait for a while.... worst case scenario backcharge.
    Just be patient.. Maybe his internet is down or so...

    Hmm, if iTrader is good there shouldn't be a problem. As mentioned, maybe he's offline for some reason. Could be anything.

    Man, screw that. If I were you I would've issued a chargeback to get my money back.

    That's pretty messed up, even if he is just offline, to go offline right after you made payment. Better be safe than sorry!

    before i give out his user name i am going to give him sometime. Regardless he should'nt have signed off right when I paid him. He was all for the sale, and then bam I send him money and hes gone.

    It's not that easy to get a good reputation here on DP. I'm sure he won't ruin that for just $100 :) Relax, I'm sure everything will work out just fine. :)

    To nameonthecake, Well, its really disgusting to be in a situation when the person goes offline at the most important time. Please wait for some time.May be the time zones are different.At the most, he must get back to you, the next day.

    it does seem strange that after the transfer of money, the recipient suddenly goes off line. how long is it supposed to take to push a domain name.

    who did you sell this too?
