Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

Anyone else get screwed by Paste in Trade Forum?

I paypaled this guy 40 buck back in the middle of december and i still haven't gotten a thing. I've tried contacting him through messages on here, his email and a dispute through paypal and he has made no effort to contact me. I was wondering if anyone else bought some of his items and have experienced the same thing as me. Thanks

Sorry man, sometimes you get burned. It happens to everyone. With any luck you can escalate it with PayPal and they will debit him $40... either directly withdrawing it from his bank account or making him pay it up sooner or later.

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"

Bikes: to many to list

Thats why I dont send money to anyone that doesnt have at least three members of the forum to vouch for them

Yep, definitely file a claim with PayPal for the situation, they are very good at handling that stuff.

I had bad experince with another forums one sold me rc car what I paid but he never ship before.. I never WILL buy it from any forums at all.. I do prefer buy any items from eBay or CL..

Best thing what you do re-solve, call credit-card company who authorize over paypal, they highly will demand $$ refund from paypal. then paypal take care of scam and issues.. you will relieve and nothing worry about it. thats what I did.

Good Luck!

Sorry to hear about your experience, but don't let one bad apple ruin what we have going here. I've had tons of great trades, buys, and sales through this forum.
