He basically sold a part out from under me and then screwed me out of $5 in the refund.
He had a part up for sale, I posted in the thread that I wanted it and that I sent him a PM, I was the first one in the thread to post about it (or any other of his parts at that)
He PMs me back with a paypal address and within 5 minutes of him sending me his paypal I send him the full $75 he was asking for the part.
2 days later I get a mysterious paypal payment of $73 with no details or anything. Not realizing that this was the same guy I "bought" the part from I email asking what the payment is for. A day later I get a reply saying that the part was already sold so he "refunded my money"
Paypal has a "refund" option that lets you refund a payment in full and nether party will have to pay any fees, it's as if it never happened. But apparently he didn't want to do that and instead sent me back a payment $2 less than what I sent him which I then had to pay fees on to receive.
I checked the thread and the person he sold it to posted well after me and not only that but he bought it at a lower price...
talk about a total kick in the balls...
while not the shadiest person I've ever met, he obviously doesn't know what he's doing and there's no way I'd trust him with my money again.
