    Well i was selling my directory here and this guy offers a good id and wins, when i pm him to pay up, he replies for me to just send over the domain, i tell him to send the money first, he then says that money is sent, but nothing is sent, i checked all my logs nothing from him..

    I may be jumping the gun here but i think i should know my options of what to do with such a person.

    Whats to be done here?
    Will mods interfere here?

    in the last 2 or 3 months ive seen a lot of new people under 20 posts posting hight bids/BIN's in a matter of few minutes of threads being posted. I saw your thread, personally I think you are being scammed.

    I think if you didn't send him over the domain you're no worse off than before you made the agreement. Forget it - there might be some innocent explanation. Sell it to someone else.

    PayPal will just take back the money and leave you in a bad way to cover any money you sent out .. I now I lost 700 bucks do to this in one shot.

    .. check with PayPAL to see if an unauthorised purchase..and call the person if you have to and ask him if he authorised it.

    I called the person that was in question in my case.. and he told me that they stole the info .. so it was a great way to find out in a hurry.

    Hope this helps..and glad to see back after you vacation

    True and fair,

    Even an older member with 200+ feedback is a thief and liar on here.
