Forum classified rules have already instated a zero-tolerance rule for requesting gifted money through Paypal, though, so (assuming people actually read the rules) it shouldn't even be an issue. If anyone is still naive enough to "gift" money to a stranger over the internet... well...

He didnt request to send through gift or anything in his thread. When he sends the invoice, he requests it as a gift. I saw that and was like nope, changed it to goods and services.

I paid him before cop but i never posted in the thread. And then he had told me he was shipping on saturday. Tried to reach him in the past few days with no updates, so i decided to contact Mr. Tran to see if he was having the same problem and then he linked me to this lol.

No one reported his threads for other rule violations though.. which would have resulted in his account being banned and threads deleted.

I recall seeing this last week... I reported his FS thread for lack of pictures.

@Norcal86 only has 19 posts since May. I know this isn't always the case, but in the future, everyone should avoid buying something from a member with such little input on the forums. They're not well known and very difficult to track down. Always go with a reputable member or vendor.

Damn I didn't see the report then :( I would have banned.

Oddly enough, I accidentally gifted him the money on Paypal via eCheck. Norcal was the one that suggested that I cancel the check and charge him the seller fees.

Did you cancel it on time then?

Well, perhaps he is in trouble and actually honest. It COULD happen.

Edited the threads but I'll leave his account for now just in case he's not scamming.. although that looks unlikely.

Yea, I cancelled it before sending the payment in which he was the seller.

This is what I was thinking initially before talking to some of the other members on this thread. Seems unreasonable for Norcal to take more payments than he has supply for and completely fall off the face of the Earth which is why I filed a claim immediately after hearing some of the other complaints.
