Im just saying. There is nothing that can go wrong on his end of paypal. He sees the money, he ships the item. No way of scam.

[Cobraman]

Tell him there is no such thing as a Harris County Sherrif.

What??

[Treadhead]

What??

He then sends the item to you, you contact paypal and tell them he sent you a brick, they remove they money from hi paypal account or the attached cc/bank account, and the seller is fucked out of both the money and what he was selling. Yes way, scam.

Completely plausible, but to threaten to call the sheriff is nuts. Don't like the offer? Don't respond. Better yet, put in the auction "local sales only, will not ship."

That's how most sane people handle it.

He seems like the kind of guy that'll try to shoot you out of paranoia when you're reaching for the cash to pay.

Yeah, all my ads I put in NO TRADES, and put a long explanation in bold and post it 2-3 times just to make it perfectly clear. You would be surprised how many people I get asking for trades.

When I ask them what does the ad say they said well I figured you would have liked my car.

What the hell makes you think I want a '98 two tone Eclipse with 120k miles or a lowed Ford Ranger with no hood?

I'll tell you right now paypal is on the sellers side. They don't give a fuck if he sent you a box of used condoms. As long as he has proof he shipped something.

I'll tell you right now that I have been fucked in the exact way I described. It is the reason I stopped selling stuff on eBay.

I love when people put "no scammers!!" in their ads...

really? damn... I was going to try to scam you, but now that you say that, I guess that leaves me out

[mikec]

Screw paypal. I use the service but ONLY fund through my Am Ex. Twice now I've just called AM Ex and canceled the transaction. Lot easier that way...
