Alrighty.

What eBook? I can probably do this without a problem.

You have a pretty sexy scam accusation thread open on you.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=424703.0

TomatoCage is extremely active on the forums. Maybe get in touch with him. (This is without knowing what the project is, of course).

Where? I'm just curious - worthless to some might have value for others.

I like this thread.

Tickets (if I recall correctly) are normally about $2 each. The ability to buy event tickets with BTC is just awesome.

Nothing like the excitement of a sealed draft tournament.

The new thread I mentioned has been deleted. The post I made warning others about the user (and linking this scam accusation thread) doesn't show in my post history.

It's difficult for me refer users to CodingSerivce's threads when they are nuked into oblivion. A user in the latest Currency Exchange thread CodingSerivce made (which is now gone) made a post (right after mine) saying that anyone doing business with him would receive negative reputation and/or be scammed.

To summarize -

1: I made this thread way back when, suspecting this user is a scammer.

2: This user left me bogus negative feedback (and went on a negative feedback spree afterward).

3: This user has been making new Currency Exchange threads trying to bait others into sending him PayPal payments. He (I'm assuming it's him doing it) deletes the threads when they reach "Critical scam mass" and creates a new thread (eventually).

*Edit*

Here's an old thread of his. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418514.msg4543464#msg4543464

Same scam structure as always. His threads are almost always the same - He's "selling <x> BTC" for PayPal.

You're mistaken. I DO have positive Trust, just not from anyone in your Trust network. I'm only replying here because a BoA transfer would be extremely quick and painless for both of us.

If you would take the time to actually review my Trust, you'd see that I've traded several times. I've also received BTC in advance without any problems.

Also, given the fact that you have no Trust whatsoever, only the "default" Trust network usernames would appear as "positive Trust rating" to you.

I'm willing to do this right now (I don't know if I'm too late).

If you're interested, just shoot me a PM and I'll provide you with the proper BoA information for the transfer.

I literally just offered you the PP/BTC loan for this Xbox as collateral awhile ago. You could have PMed me back saying you weren't interested.

They won't find out. There is no incentive for Steam to track a different IP logging onto a steam account. At worst, they will prompt the user logging into the account for a security verification, which can be deactivated via the account's original owner.

Source: I have a steam account, and I log onto my old roommate's account all the time. I originally had to do an annoying verification process (and so did he) until we disabled this feature.

I sent you a PM. I've done this type of work before for BTC without any problems. I have a very structured work order (Three phases of development, with partial payment for each).

It looks like you can't use these codes on amazon.com, only .co.uk.
 
Ah well.

The thread was deleted shortly after I e-mailed him, and I didn't use PMing (so I didn't remember his username).

But you're right. I should have updated this thread after I received a bogus negative feedback score from him.

Anyway. Cat is out of the bag now. He's tried to scam other people, and currently has a thread open in the currency exchange trying to scam even MORE people.

Are these for amazon.co.uk only, or will they work on amazon.com?

That isn't collateral. Collateral is something you put up that can be kept in case you default.

I don't understand why people think collateral means "something to 'prove' they'll pay the amount back".

Which is why you always get the code first, no exceptions. I will NEVER send bitcoins ahead of time for a gift code.

Certain items do require customs fees as well as a declaration of export from the seller. Also, you typically DO want to insure your goods at full value (especially with physical coins and/or computer equipment).

Alternately (I figure I'd plug myself here), I'm trying to get a reshipping service started. If you are receiving goods (typically multiple packages) from around the US and want to pay one international shipping fee, I charge shipping cost + 5% in BTC/LTC.

So how it works is this - the items are shipped to me (I don't need to know what I'm receiving). I repackage them (optional, but pretty much a must for multiple items received from multiple sources, or for stealth purposes (use your imagination)) and ship them to you/elsewhere at the lowest rate possible.

This service isn't really for a person-to-person delivery, it's more intended for someone (for instance) in Canada ordering 5 things from different US vendors to avoid 5 international shipping fees.

Anyway, just don't skimp out on the insurance. You don't want to be "that guy" who has a miner damaged and end up losing out.

Might wanna post this over in Digital Goods or Goods.

MoneyPaks can be reported stolen/whatever and be reversed.

Also, if any shady business comes up with MPs (For instance an MP being reported "stolen" after it's been loaded to a PP account), MP will sometimes blacklist that PP account, leading to problems for people trying to do business with MPs. Happened to me. My PP account can no longer receive MP loads thanks to some scammer. At this point your only option is to request a "refund check" from MP, which takes a week or two to arrive. Naturally, if someone reports the MP "stolen" during the shipping time, MP will cancel that refund check.

So all in all MP can create problems.
