I talked to a fella on AT about a bow he was selling. He wanted to talk on the phone to negotiate the deal. We agreed on a price and the deal was done. As were were still on the phone I was opening paypal and completed the transaction very shortly after we hung up. He said he would PM me a track # on sat as he was shipping usps.
The next day the guy sent me a nasty PM taliking about how I was a liar. He said I never paid. So now I've got red flags flying every where. I jump over to my pay pal and I did send the guy the $$. I double checked the email I was to send the $$ to and it was correct. i pm'd the guy back telling him my money was not in my account.
Apperantly the dumb !@#$#$@$%%@ was waiting for an email notification to let him know that I paid instead of checking his paypal account. So he finally checked his actual pay pal account and saw that i paid him. This is where it gets good. He sold the bow. I didn't check my messages until later sat evening so he sold the bow to some one else. MY money was sitting there the whole time. Luckily I already have my money back, but what an idiot.
My advise ask lots of questions before you buy off the net so you can find out if the person can handle the details of the transactions.
