If for some reason he didn't receive the Jaguar or it wasn't as described, he would have zero recourse with PayPal to get his money back. 2 minutes ago, smalltownguy2 said: My Paypal account has been closed for selling illegal products.

That's a good price for a boxed Jaguar, I'm sure someone will be willing to accept your terms, but you're not exactly endearing yourself to others here with your attitude. ..Al 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that I had declared interest, which in my opinion gives me dibs on the transaction. When I decided not to proceed I wanted others to know that I am out of the way... either way, I will quote Forest Gump's mum: "stupid is as stupid does". ?

Just saying, don't get upset if someone doesn't want to use F&F, move on to the next buyer. You're not going to have any problems selling this, but calling people names when your anger is with PayPal is not going to help you in that endeavor. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I bet someone would buy it if you offer to send it, and accept payment after successful delivery. It's as balanced as the pay before shipping method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 so the question is, is he trying to sell something he doesn’t have? or is he the ebay seller, or is he just using the ebay items pics to sell nothing. might be a total scam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Everyone, this guy is a scammer, do not send him any money. I looked at the account, and he hadn't logged in for some time (about a year and a half ago last), and suddenly he logs in again and is using a VPN to mask his location and true IP. Or it's several scammers managing this account from several different locations. Probably his email account (a hotmail account) was hacked, or he had a simple password here that was hacked. I then logged in as him and looked at his PMs. He's already taken money from one member for the Jaguar, and he later asked for payment from another member. Also, the story about his PayPal account being closed due to "illegal activity" is unlikely, he's probably just using that as an excuse for having a different PayPal address than he used in the past, and if PayPal banned your account, I doubt PayPal would let you trivially setup a new account. And of course the photos of the same Jaguar on eBay from someone in a different state from where he lives (or at least lived the last time he legitimately posted) is of course incredibly suspicious. ..Al 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 3 minutes ago, Leonard Smith said: Damn. I hate scammers! ? Yes, this sort of thing has become increasingly common on forums. Basically, a scammer will join a site and then look for people who are searching for expensive items. They will then write those people to say they or someone they know has the item, ultimately arranging payment for said item(s). They can scam a bunch of people before they are ultimately caught and banned, but by then they've usually scammed several people. In this particular case, looks like they were able to get into an established account, which is helpful as people will feel more comfortable dealing with someone who didn't just sign up. If anyone here ever thinks that someone may be trying to scam them, PLEASE LET ME or another mod know and I can then investigate further. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staxx Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have been on here for many many years and this is the first time I have been scammed. Had it been 15 mins later, I would have noticed this sales thread and not sent the payment. Let's see what happens and the other folks that paid also.

Leonard Smith Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Come to think of it, I've had an instance where I posted a want ad (most recently for Atarian magazines) and within 5 minutes I received a PM from a pushy individual with very bad grammar. The guy was like "I have all 3 issues would you like to buy, buddy?" and when I asked for eBay references he suddenly lashed out at me like this smalltownguy. Needless to say, I did not feel comfortable proceeding with the transaction and deleted his private messages. I bet it was probably the same scammer(s) since the whole conversation seemed to mimic this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe I was screwing over a sale with my comments so I deleted it. I got burned in a very similar situation in December. Paypal has this thing that you can get your money back even on F&F if the receiver hasn't yet transferred it out. I would call them immediately. Don't wait on a case or email. They have people that answer phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I searched for his username on Google and found that he's attempting to scam people on other forums as well, such as this: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/for-sale-black-knight-2000-43 He listed several pinball machines today, but they were quick to shut that down, fortunately. https://pinside.com/pinball/community/pinsiders/smalltownguy2/forum LMFAO, apparently he stated he'd ship a pinball machine via USPS. Uhrrr, no. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Just now, Dopy25 said: I would call them immediately. Don't wait on a case or email. Yep, this is incredibly important. Once they pull the money out of PayPal, you're probably screwed unless you used a credit card, in which case you can perform a chargeback. However, PayPal will NOT like that and they can and will ban you if this happens too often with your account. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopy25 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Maybe he just decided to join the scam. Even the OPs older posts seemed really abrasive. I hope I am overthinking and the same person wasn't just joining a forum to become established Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
