Heard good things about it. Certainly better than the 'Loo.

Never, ever ship to an address that is not on the paypal account (unverified).

Especially to a different country.

DON'T DO IT.

Here was his message to me.

"After you read this message, i will pay you the watch, but i need you to send me the watch to the following address please:

xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx

Tha address has change because paypal shows another address (Mexico), please ignore that address. Thanks.
xxxxxxxxx"

I've x'd out his name and Address, but doesn't that sound fishy?



I would say that the Chargers are now playing up to Norv Turners standards. I'm sure he will turn things around and probably win two or three more games this year. Also I wonder if anybody has suggested he see a dermitologist .

If you have to ask if it's a scam, then it's a scam.

Buck 10-25-2010 04:02 PM

Man this guy reeks of scammer, I'm not sending it. Here's the back and forth between he and I.

Dear xxxx,

I just spoke with Ebay customer service. I will not ship to any address that is not a Paypal Verified address, so unless its a paypal verified address, I won't send it. Please let me know.

- BUCK

----------------------

Dear BUCK,

I understand you concern. If you check my feedback as buyer is 100%, the problem is because i change the bank account in Paypal, and this account is from Mexico, the address in Mexico is verified, but you dont ship to international mail or yes ?, i canīt change the shipping address, i dont know why ?, i have residence in USA and Mexico.

- xxxx

---------------------------------------

Dear xxxx,

Thanks for emailing me back. The problem is that if I were to ship it to a non paypal verified address, and something were to go wrong, then I wouldn't be covered and I would lose both the watch and the money, so I can't ship it to anything but a verified paypal address, and I don't ship to Mexico. Is there any way to put the address you want on the paypal account?

- BUCK

-------------------------------------------

Dear BUCK,

I cant put any other address just that, when i pay appears the Mexican Address, The USA address is where i always receive my packages, it's faster and secure. You trust me, lets go to make the deal, i pay and you send me the watch to the Addres in Hidalgo, Texas.
Thanks.

- xxxx

This...

The other alternative would be to have him try and officially change his address in pay-pal or Ebay..

But I have done transactions like that (different address) before. As long as the communication is coming through EBAY and you have the money...Theres not much if any risk..

How expensive is it?


edit: one more alternative is to have him western union the money instead of pay pal...

Theres no refunds with western union

Zaiko 10-25-2010 04:04 PM

Wouldn't do it. I go through ebay a lot, and you'll most likely be rigged if you send to something other than his paypal address.

You all apparently haven't been scammed.

That is kind of my point....

I have done hundreds of online transactions and not been scammed. Once you have the money in your hand, it is pretty hard to be scammed...

He could even make him write in the payment insctructions THROUGH pay pal, please ship to XXXX address....then request a signiture.

He could also use western union, and make him request a certain address with western union...

It isn't rocket science...
