This is a Scam
He ends the auction 2 days early and requests payment. I send but he cannot receive because he will not register his email with paypal. He then contacts me here and asks me to send him payment in btc not knowing I won his auction on ebay. After I ask him about his neg feedback on ebay he gos dark. The email linked to his paypal rhzhaos@aol.comhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=88539

The amount of scammers appearing on these forums lately is getting ridiculous - too many noobs are getting ripped off, as well as the occasional experienced member. Of course, it's is up to the buyer to do research on the seller & use his head to make a decision, but even then it's difficult. As a rule I will not buy anything from anyone with less than 100 posts, & even then I need pics with username before making a deal. I have done many, many deals here using this rule & so far I have never been ripped off or scammed - & I've never needed to use escrow. If this forum is not careful, it will rapidly gain a reputation for being a haven for scammers - I think the time has come for the mods here to introduce some basic rules for selling on a similar vein, not only to protect noob buyers, but also to protect bitcointalk.org's reputation. I hope the mods here read this, and act accordingly as well as quickly, for everyone's sake. Peace

First, My eBay account didn't link to my Paypal account so I didn't realise the true reason why I cannot receive the money. My apologise to buyer. Second, I could not print the shipping label because the delay payment on Paypal. Third, Unlike the description on my profile, I ask for payment though escrow.
I have already fixed the issue on eBay and contacted the buyer again

Payment was sent 3 times and you could not receive it because you refused to verify your email at with paypal. Why is that? Escrow is not a sure thing btw you could still screw the buyer with it. There is no way that I would engage in a sale with someone as shady as you.

If the price looks too good to be true, then it is.

Something that everyone ignores or just overlooks each time.

I smelt something fishy. I was interested as well but then decided against it as I am unsure if the item even works. I really didn't feel like finding someone and hurting them because they failed to send me my item.

The item has been sold as $430 today, thank you so much for the trust and the following messages after someone marked this post as a scam, although it is sad to find out only face-to-face trade may bring some trust to this the community that seems to become more cynical.

are you happy because you scammed the buyer? Of cause no, I used craigslist, so I traded in person although I turned down some following message about buying miner on the forum. AND as I said, as the first user reply to this post, I would give you redeem code for the minecrafts on iOS for free. I would send you later via message.

You didnt take the money from paypal because you where trying to use a fake email to redeemed it. Im glad you know who I am, Im not the one with multiple accounts here that have scammer tags. If you have any interaction with me you know my name because I dont hide it. I use a gmail account that is the same as my name here. Its not a secret because I dont try to rip people off and Im accountable for my actions. Im happy that you claim you sold the machine on CL, maybe you should stick to selling there because your blowing it here.
