Hopefully you didn't paypal "friends n family"

Otherwise, dispute it, wait a few weeks and you'll get a refund.

I've bought a rim from a guy named Ethan Noel Sigle. And I used Crypto to send 0.018 BTC to his account on 8, July. But since the money is sent, Ethan disappeared right away. And it has been 5 days though. So I'm pretty sure that I'm scammed by this guy.

i couldn't use that function of Paypal due to some restrictions in my country. That's sad.

did he actually post a pic of the wheel with your email printed out?

 

[AddicteDevil]

he said that he wrote it on. the red marker thing is it.

 

[Paul G]

thats a fake. if you put it in photoshop and zoom right in you'll see red blurring where he selected it and then tried to blend it in. Plus the glare that hides the black would hide the red.

 

[AddicteDevil]

is it possible if i ask the seller to put the goods on Ebay?

Wut?

How's that gonna work if he's not responding to you.
Charge your loss to the game n keep it pushin.

That's all you can do. Accept the loss, say .... it and move on.

Good on you for posting about it. Hopefully someone will read your post and learn something.

This indeed ! Make sure you check history of seller. Has the seller posted on the board before and does seller look like an active member. As Paul G mentioned in his post, there seem to be next to no moderation on the board either (hence all the recent .... posts discussing everything from portable aircons to teeth straightening).
