I do pretty much every one of my transactions here as a Gift (since most people ask for it). I wouldn't even know how to explain it to my bank, I feel like it would take a half hour for them to even grasp the situation.
WTS:
Destiny, PS4. Opened, but codes aren't used. $45 shipped or an Amazon preorder of Smash 3DS pointed to my address, your choice. I can send it out Monday.
I nearly got scammed by this Toemon guy but he stopped PMing me - thankfully. I posted a request on here for the Kirby GBA games and he PMed me saying he had them and would sell for $25 shipped. I went back to say that the shipping cost may need to be higher as I'm in the UK and never heard back despite of messaging him a few times. Extremely thankful.Toemon (banned now [what a surprise]) was supposed to sell me SM3DW for $30. I paid upfront as I always do. Paypal transaction goes through fine. At this point, other sellers I've dealt with would have already be telling me they would be ready to ship ASAP (usually the next day) and we they would keep me updated. Well, Toemon insisted he would ship as soon as the transaction cleared in his bank account. I had no problem with this. Few days pass, I ask him for an update, he tells me it should be cleared Wednesday at the latest (yesterday), but he's banned now so I have to go and email him personally about the game now. That was only this morning so I hope he replies but I'll just have to wait and see. Hope he responds and goes through with the sale.
So overall not a pleasant experience. I'm not mad about it, no regrets or anything since I knew the risk I was taking when dealing with a junior gaffer with no feedback.
If you want I'll keep updating if you guys want to see if he goes through with the sale. Not like it matters anymore since the user is now banned. Just trying to warn some of you guys about it.

Yes, but you can still win. The last scam that happened and quite a few that did so but still recovered their money I believe.Blech, not worth it. You're not even supposed to be using the "gift" option in Paypal for situations like this in the first place, so I wouldn't expect to win out.
Everyone that got scammed, got to paypal and file a complaint as an unauthorized transaction. I've received a refund doing it that way even as a gift payment and you can as well. They will see many other complaints on that account and freeze it while issuing refunds. It may take a while though.
Yeah, essentially this. If everyone did, the number of complaints and the timeframe they happened will give better chances of PayPal assisting.Everyone that got scammed, got to paypal and file a complaint as an unauthorized transaction.

Yep. I really don't understand people asking for gift payments. I take the fees into account when I price things. If people want to send me a gift, that's okay, but honestly I prefer the regular payment even if it means Paypal takes 4% off the top. I can print a shipping label directly from Paypal, and I'm providing the buyer with security. I know the fees are more for foreign transactions, but it's relatively easy to figure out what the fees are.I'll never do gift transactions, all you have to do is cover the small fee. I just take them as a seller myself.

The man was about to board a limo to hit some night clubs with high profile celebrities when i private messsage him. He says: "Screw it... gonna get the freshment some codes" and jumps out of the limo.
It seems getting positive feedback in the BST is some sort of good karma mining junction point or something, the highway to heaven is pretty much guaranteed now.
Very pleased.
