Didn't someone else get scammed recently? Exact same scenario. Never use the gift option, although I have in the past...I guess people were more honest back then.

Sorry about the loss. Other option is to contact your bank and tell them what happened. They might be able to help.

This kind of stuff brings my piss to a boil

Just a heads up, check the post history before you deal with someone.

Same guy claimed to have sold the same exhaust back in November for $550-600:

I'm not sure anybody has clearly answered your question. PayPal offers purchase protection up to a certain limit on items you buy online and pay for using PayPal. If you don't get what you ordered, you can file a claim with PayPal to get the money back.

However, that's only if you send a payment and not a gift. If you use the gift option, you don't pay the transaction fee, but you're telling PayPal that you're actually giving the money to the other person, not buying something with it. Since there's no transaction as far as PayPal is concerned, they don't offer any protection for it.

Never use the gift option (unless you're actually giving someone money). The insurance is worth the 3% fee. That would have been $9 on this transaction.

I haven't sold anything using PayPal. Is there any legitimate reason for a seller to insist on the gift option?

I like your train of thought but I'd go one step further. OP, post an ad on Craigslist casual encounters m4m. Post his phone number stating if he doesn't pick up, leave a voicemail of the ad responder 'climaxing'. Then post all of his email addresses requesting the most aggressive and explicit photos Craigslist m4m casual encounters has to offer.

Then grab a beer and relax, because for that kind of justice/entertainment, its the best $300 you've ever spent.

I wouldn't ever gift to someone unless I know the person has sold a few times on here before // or I know him through someone.. I think the issue is we don't to pay the 3% and for future I think both buyer and seller should split the 3% cost.. Just my opinion..

RhafikJaan · 03-25-2014, 12:45 AM

Also one more thing... I think "WE" buyers should also always ask for new pics with a paper next to it showing date time user name.. Iv seen this on other forums.. Because most time with scammers they would use other peoples pictures or use there own picture of when the item was new.. Anyways I'm sorry you lost your money and hope you get our money back.. Goodluck

Thieves like this makes me sick. Why hesitate to post good info? Just post and let the community do the rest. For the most part I am impressed by level of maturity and resurrect on this board. Story for your loss. Never gift via PayPal to stranger...remember, he might be a dog.

$300 for TRD catback. Seems legit.

brzadmir · 03-25-2014, 01:19 AM

Fellow FRS/BRZ should help one another out, whoever is local to this guy should harass him in regards to JS+BRZ

JS + BRZ · 03-25-2014, 01:54 AM

Wow! Thanks for the support guys. Haha just got home from dinner with my wife.

Will post more of his information in like 30 minutes!

Wish I know anyone in Maryland so he can call his numbers. That way he will likely answer it. Haha
