Those are all stock canned photos. Need a pic of the actual mod you're selling.
We are also going to need your screen name and today's date written on a piece of paper in the new pic.
You have been a member for 10 days, you post stock pics.
We are not taking any chances here.


Also., Same for your other sale.
Pic with device, and paper with screen name and todays date written on it.
I guess I have to go post this over there so no one makes any mistakes in the mean time...

So I got offered a sssp from what appears to be the same guy with a new account (phone signature the same lol)

This seems a lot more legit, timestamped photos etc, but getting the same paypal issues story etc and he can only accept f&f, yada yada. Told him I will under no circumstances send money f&f to a member with zero history, and he says he can do goods and services now under his friends paypal.

It sure seems like the same individual unless this guy just happened to make an account last Saturday right after this post got called out and has the same exact phone and sig for messages.

Before I realized it could be the same person I sent a g&s payment for the sssp. Im guessing he realized he couldn't scam with g&s as he refunded my payment just now after I sent him a screenshot of this thread šŸ˜…

G&S you need to provide documentation for the sale. Which would be this thread and PMs. Which would just get both of your accounts closed for vaping transactions with no refund

It was refunded, and we pay g&s so you are covered if they don't ship. If they ship you a rock, you provide proof and rarely need to provide any actual documentation, if needed you just say it was something not vape related.

I paid him for a rebel mod he had and he told me he had several models ....and he never sent anything after I paid him .....

And on top of that he said he had a Zelle account and if I wanted to complete the transaction with PayPal to pay the money into his wife's PayPal account........

I figured if PP doesn't do vape related then even if it was G&S they wouldn't do anything about it.

Its sort of true, but the only way they will find out its vape related is if the buyer or seller say it was, which would be the end of both accounts, so reason not to for both parties.

True dat...was thinking of a dispute for vape gear. Hard to explain dispute unless you can w/o saying what the merch was...I can't remember...but maybe all the scammer would have to do is tell PP it was vape, to get them to drop dispute. They'd lose account but scammers have ways around shit. Maybe that's what happened to this guy/gal already.

Yeah thats very true. I always avoid disputes whenever possible, especially now that paypal is implementing fees if your dispute rate rises above a certain percent. And its something ridiculous like if you have even 3 disputes total you are charged money. And they also charge the recipient of the dispute if they lose.

Why you all worried about PayPal figuring itā€™s a vape purchase?

Just stop using PayPal balances, always charge from your bank or credit cardā€¦ dispute through bank or card issuerā€¦ they donā€™t give a shit if itā€™s vape related.

With credit cards you have purchase protectionsā€¦

Oh PayPal closes your accountā€¦ big Whoopi, make anotherā€¦order a new bank card.

Let your bank and card issuer who is on your side fight it out, fuck PayPal and their so called buyer protections

eBay discontinued using PayPal...... They give the buyer an option to pay using Visa, MC, Amex and once they pay...... eBay sends the money to your bank account.

For vape related purposes there was always another way. People just believe the doctrine called PayPal protection via Goods and Services.

That and many people have real cases of FOMO and must have-itis.

I only do PayPal which is still drawn from one of my cards, to friends who MUST have it, or for "Trusted" individuals who are a modder... Much rather send it via venmo or instant transfer from my bank... WHY? Not because its easily disputed... mother fuckers commit wire fraud if they rip me off and that shit is federal time.

Guys, use PirateShip. Bueno discounts like PP. It keeps track of the addresses you mail, costs, where you ship to most, average shipping and a lot of other stuff, too. It's is a cinch. Love it! I know the name sounds questionable but check out YT vids. eBayers love it. Same rates as eBay.
I used it for all the stuff I sold March 2020 and have ever since.

If you used a credit or debit card through your paypal you can open a dispute through your cardholder agreement. I have done this in the past and it does work.

Man all this shit sucks. Manny I am sorry. You are way too good a dude to have this happen to. YOU ALL are too good of folks to be taken by an ass hole out foe themselves. This is an AMAZING community off AWESOME people. We are here to help each other out. For those who chose to prey on the trust and kindness of others I hope karmic forces slap you in the head! Repeatedly. Peace and love to all.
