You said, no money had been snt on their end.

Why did you send the watch???

When I have sold, I make damn sure the buyers money is in my Paypal account and all is good, then I ship.

Also, if the guy needed it in a rush, why you pay the express shipping?


Well, I guess lesson learned.

I was about to ask the same.

RE the money in Paypal, after I got a chargeback on quite an expensive item many moons ago, I do not send anything I sell now until I have successfully transferred said funds to my bank account, and only when I see money in my bank account, then I ship the goods.

I too used to be too trusting in the past, and sadly the few scammers out there ruin things for the honest people, but I too have learned, and moved on hence why I do things a little different now.

That's why I'm saying my story to prevent it from happening again.

Just goes to show my friend, in future, no matter how well you think you know someone, when dealing online, always, always get your hard earned money first.

Really sorry to have to be replying to your thread, and one wishes positive things for you mate.

I would love to know why correcttime is banned though.
