dunno how many of u have experienced this, but i have and so would like everyone to be wary next time they sell accounts using paypal.
this is what happened: i put a rogue on ebay, start price 200 and buyout 220. someone bought it (his nick on ebay is fredfinnerty706, i believe if i havent misspelled) and then sent the 220 via paypal the same day, right then and there. fortunately, i didnt send him the account info right away as i read my email later that night, which is also when i found out paypal was launching an investigation into potentially unauthorized funds that i may have received (read: fraud). as it turns out, the transaction was reversed by paypal (wont go into detail there, but paypal doesnt have the brightest of cs reps-- if u want more on this pm me). now, if i was online at the immediate time of auction close, i might have sent him the info and thus been scammed/defrauded of the acc info- same way one might use a check only to have his bank deny it and purposefully cause it to bounce.
so, moral of the story is-> take time in sending info if payments been made with paypal, esp if u have buy it now options available or the bidder is one with 0 feedback (or less, this douche who bought my rogue- i checked his rating recently and its -2 atm, lol..im not the first seller hes attempted to scam).
good day all,
:wub:
