    Outcome...rings are here 11/30. Dillo never made it.


    After ten years and probably 350 transactions I was finally stiffed in the marketplace.

    The whole deal was kinda shady...I sent a PM to a seller and he responded via text, never PM. I sent the payment via paypal, friends and family. I'll never do that again as I would have contacted them immediately.

    Now he says....

    1. He dropped his phone in the toilet last week, which is why he hasn't responded. The new BS line was the package was returned for insufficient postage and he resent it, and it shows delivery tomorrow. If you have ever had a package returned for INF you know it takes like three weeks, not two days....

    Does anyone have any idea what paypal if you admit you paid for goods through friends and family? I want this guys account shut off as obviously he is a scammer.

    Its only $40.00, but it still sucks.

    If all you want is his account locked up just tell them it was for gun parts, you still won't get anything back, and your PayPal will probably get locked too.

        You're out the $$ if you used friends and family. Lucky it was only forty bucks.

        Do tell...

          This!^^^

          The liberasts at payshmock will lock your account for buying. Maybe they'll lock his too but yours will be locked 100% if you admit a gun related purchase off eBay.

                      I had something returned by the post office once for insufficient postage .Came back like the next day or so, wasn't long at all.
                      Maybe it's on the way like he says. Hopefully you get everything resolved .

                        I'd like to think positive, but with such lame excuses as I dropped by phone in the toilet two days ago....he told me that yesterday but texted me sunday to assure me he shipped the items but he lost the receipt.....

                        today he has the receipt but won't share it, and says tracking indicates it arrives tomorrow.

                        Just too much BS here man..

                        Here is the link to the thread. Its either a scammer or the worst communicator on calguns...and there are some bad ones.

                          Anyone who's willing to risk their reputation for 40 bucks (to be clear, I'm NOT talking about the OP) has crap for brains. Especially now when a bad actor's name can get around with a few keystrokes and mouse clicks.

                            Surprising given that lostwake had a 100% iTrader rating until bubbapug1 left his negative rating.

                              OP, Looks like 7 maybe 8 days ago???
                              I'm not seeing a huge delay here bro...the NEG Itader this early seems a tad harsh, no?
                              It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.
