I wanted his eBay gift codes. I needed them since I wanted an expensive gift for the GF. Asked for 2 x $500 codes, the deal was $700. I said sure, and we negotiated until we agreed that I send $20, then he sends both codes, then I send $680.

Oh well, his stupid scamming paki ass can eat for a year now. Title: Re: I might be mentally retarded.....

Anyone can post a link showing a "proof" of payment from a web service. Using your own wallet removes all doubt. Title: Re: I might be mentally retarded.....

It's pretty clear he scammed in this case, but I'll keep what you said in mind. I think MoneyPot is pretty trustworthy anyways. Title: Re: I might be mentally retarded.....

It is mainly done for your protection - you can ask the seller to sign a message from their address in a public thread as well. That way there is no doubt about the veracity of your claims. Sorry that people feel the need to scam for a few dollars in bitcoin. Title: Re: I might be mentally retarded.....

ALWAYS USE ESCROW! Title: Re: I might be mentally retarded.....

Escrow can save you the problems you experienced. Title: Re: I might be mentally retarded..... Post by: Dorrittulx on December 21, 2015, 11:00:20 PM Escrow on this forum is a complete joke. Nobody trusted escrows, and the people that do take an hour to a day each time to respond. It's not worth the hassle.

Nobody trusted escrows, and the people that do take an hour to a day each time to respond. It's not worth the hassle. Look at what happened to you after not trusting an escrow. There might be a mistake committed by an escrow before but that doesn't mean all escrows are the same. Unfortunately this lesson cost you a few $$.Title: Re: I might be mentally retarded.....
