Most of them are true. You need to deal with high caution on this site. Seriously. There is a list of about 40-60 great people to deal with on this site when trading or buying. If you stray outside that list it is at your own risk.

May I ask if I am on such list?

I don't understand the reasoning behind trying to scam someone on a PayPal transaction. If you don't ship the card/s, PayPal refunds the buyers money. I suppose you can try to close your account immediately after accepting payment, but that just seems highly unlikely. And, PayPal would still put a hold on the seller's account and refund the money to the buyer. As a seller, you would then have Paypal coming after you for the funds. PayPal requires that you add a payment source before being able to do business through their website and will not let you delete that payment source while a transaction is in process...

As it is, PayPal has put a hold on the seller's funds, and will be refunding my payment within the next few days. I just don't understand the reasoning behind it. All at the risk of receiving negative feedback...

Not sure why the moderators would allow this type of behavior to continue. If it's become an issue, the penalties should be much more strict. IMO, it's a 1 strike and you're out type of penalty. There is no excuse for attempting to scam someone out of their money..

Before you go bashing the mods

I have a pending refund I just received notice of through pp that will clear on the 27th.

I agree. I don't have many sales but the 15+ I do total over 5K on this site.

Even people with 100's of 100% feedback go crazy and screw people. You really can't see it coming with some.

I didn't intend to bash the mods. They have been very attentive in all of my interactions with them. I know some people take things the wrong way especially when trying to construe a message on a forum, but I was merely making a simple statement. I meant no harm...

Mods of all sites are restricted in many ways and can only perform a function to their best of their abilities. I understand that and appreciate what they offer..

It's nice to see that he's already been temporarily suspended. My guess is that you and I are not the only people who have filed complaints.

I filed a dispute with Paypal a few days ago and am set to receive a refund either tomorrow or the next day. Just like you, I too would have much rather have had the cards, especially as hot as he is right now..

I have no idea why people try to rob people with a paypal transaction, but it happens all the time on here. Who knows what runs through peoples minds. Like you said it could be anybody. I have seen people with great feedback just disappear. When it comes to selling I will deal with anyone because I do all my deals properly and anyone that has worked with me will tell you exactly that. When I buy I only use paypal goods. I have made a few exceptions and paid gift in the past and been ok, but from now on I will only use goods. And honest sellers understand why and have no problem with it. When I am trading is where I get skeptical. I will trade with anyone but if I dont know you then you will be sending first. If you are not gonna send first then no deal. Cut and dry and to the point. The impression I get from people trying to steal during a paypal transaction is one of 4 things. Others could add some more as well I am sure.

1- They just hope you forget about the transaction
2- They hope you are a nice person and wont file a claim
3-They try to get you to pay gift at first to see if you will
4-They are looking for a loan until payday. If you buy something from someone and a few days later you have a refund with no explanation what so ever then this is almost always correct. Some people dont care about thier reputation or status on here and have no problem eating a negative. If they get run off the site they just make a new account a few days later.

I will say this though about the site. If you do take the time to find the good people on this site you will not be sorry. There is some fantastic members on this site who I hope to do business with for a long time. And the few times I have had trouble with transactions the mods were very helpful. A great way to find some good members to deal with is to click on the Itraders of people with high feedback and 100% feedback. Skim through thier feedback and you will start to see the same names over and over of who people deal with. I hope this was helpful for you and I hope you stick around. Good traders are in high demand and very, very short supply.

No reason to ignore paying customers and not ship items, or at the very least respond to PMs.

I never said it was. What I gave was an opinion on why it maybe happening. Thanks for playing though.

#4 is what I generally think of and really the only thing that makes sense to me.. It blows my mind that someone would take advantage of someone else is such a manner...

He signed on to this site yesterday so there is no reason for ignoring messages..

I play poker as well, and although I'm not at the WSOP, there is no reason to ignore messages for almost 10 days now, 2 weeks from another paying member..

I haven't checked the schedule, but just as I answered the above member, there is no excuse.. If he is playing in the tournament, he very easily could have made mention of that..

Completely understandable that someone could have something more pressing than this, but at the same time, the member should be communicative with all buyers..

Should read may be, not maybe. Thanks for playing though.

[Orangejello727]

I dont any of us were giving excuses for the guys tardiness in sending or even communications. We were just throwing out info that could have been useful. Thats all.

[Jenkinssssss]

here he is on twitter ballin it up in Vegas.

https://twitter.com/#!/sdubpoker

just kidding. i'm 90% sure it's the same guy. his name and previous online poker names come to mind. his trip mccutchens were no match shortbuying the $2/5 game though.

[marzoc]

Apparently he's a professional poker player and is currently playing in the WSOP. He has signed in to this forum a few times in the last few days and has made no attempt to contact me or the other buyer who had purchased a card from him on the 10th. He is also an active twitter subscriber and has been active during this entire time period. I am scheduled to receive a refund tonight and will be leaving negative feedback on his account. I would assume that the other buyer involved will be doing the same...

[cruiserdaddy7]

Its a shame, the guy seemed active and reputable up until now. Ultimately he should be banned from here since he stole from 2 members.

He's received 2 positives within the last few days. I feel terrible having to leave negative feedback but don't know what else to do. I've sent him at least 4 or 5 messages and am aware that he's been on the site at least a few times since the purchase was made..

I understand that he's at the WSOP currently and would have no problem waiting on the cards, but there has been 0 communication and there is another member claiming the same thing on the same card/s.

Leave him a negative, screw him. He seems to have no problem screwing you.

Leave the negative. Someone who takes your money and ignores you deserves NOTHING better. Taking your money and gambling with it is even worse. Id be angry, Im angry for you.

Drop the neg man

[jerryw]

i always allow up to 2 weeks before i say anything..if after 2 weeks i have nothing then i try and contact and if after 3 more days then i instantly file a claim..common sense says a seller will have ample time in the first 2 weeks to get his ducks in a row..life happens but not to the extent that you cant print postage or make a quick mail trip in 2 weeks lol
