    He is definitely a scam.
    I see another negative itrader for him with this message:

    This is the thread where he scammed someone else:

    EDIT: I see that this guy(Lord Brar) has already posted in this thread. :)

    Thanx for the headsup. I gave him a red and sent him to unkown quantity.

    It happened to me once as well, someone signed up for SEO package through my website using a fake paypal and made the payment for setup fee of $1500 and signed up for a subscription for $750 a month.
    After the payment i didn't hear back from the buyer for 5 days, then I contacted the buyer on the paypal email address. I was told then that the payment was made form a hacked paypal account. I immediately refunded the payment.

    He offered me $300 for my credit card site and domains. Almost immediately I smelled something not right about that guy!

    Always be a wary of new members and require that they show you some OTHER presence on the web besides here at Digital Point. When I asked where else on the internet I could find him, he went silent!

    How do people like that live with themselves?! Where is their sense of pride? I guess they have none. It's sad... pathatic really. :(

    I called PayPal to find out what help they can offer the seller when the goods are "intangible" the gal said they offered no assurances! Nice! I asked if they could even tell me if the funds were coming from a bank account vs a credit card and they told me "No." Sheesh!

    What kind of info do you get from PayPal? I'd really appreciate any insight you could give me on future sales!

    Thanks!

    You wont get any help form Paypal.
    paypalsucks.com

    I would gladly switch from Paypal if there was any good alternative available.

    I found this thread because somebody else linked to it, somebody else who almost got scammed. Somebody tell Shawn to ban him and shoot him with his sniper.

    Shawn doesnt use Sniper, he doesnt even have it.
    He loves to stab instead...

    Whats it like ? I sell Application & Web Development through DP, how does DP guarantee payments to me ? The buyer may vanish, after I have submitted work.

    DP dos not guarrantee anything at all. Its totally your risk.
    Are you charged any fee for selling or buying any services/products?

    Anyhow, as the FAQs say:
