more eBay schenanigans...
« on: February 18, 2017, 02:01:02 PM »
well, I'm paid. paypal says I can ship. eBay says I don't have to. in their letter, they say I "should use buy-it-now with immediate payment"

which I do...lol. morons.



they're the same company...lol. so what now? I have no money in the memory, so I don't really care if they do pull the funds out of paypal...

what would you do?

my buyer died in 1982, though. :o - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Smirnov_(fencer)

on eBay, he's John Stafford. :( he died in 1940. damm it, I don't sell to the dead - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stafford_(baseball)

oh, maybe it's the lions quarterback. that's OK, he's kewl - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Stafford

and the address is a ship-forwarder to send items overseas.

so whats the scam, buy something then reverse charges once it arrives for profit?

Or maybe do a return and ship back some old 128k SIMM chips?

 :) points, caught the irony

I'm guessing stolen credit card, free product, non-traceable address, probably overseas. but for $35.00, lol...aim high. :)

probably no red flags if he had kept using the same name. I've shipped to re-shippers many times, no issue.
