Those that know, know. We certainly aren’t going to educate buyers on here how to get free product. Conduct your transactions as you please and so will the rest of us. I just had to point out the incorrect info you provided. Please don’t take it personally.
Dang way to pad that post count!! I see you have no buy/sell feedback but by God you'll have over 1000 posts within a few days at the rate you're going!
If you search brainstodart it only comes up in this and the other thread...unless I'm doing it wrong.
Given you were able to locate the guy you can contact the police where he lives and file a police report. I did that on a Facebook purchase I got scammed on and the individual got arrested. Never for my money back but I sure felt better
Most of us are the occasional seller. We’re here because of our love of shooting. We engage in the give and take of the shooting knowledge we’ve acquired. You two guys have nearly a quarter of million dollars of sales between you. Sounds like you guys are here to buy and sell not to contribute shooting knowledge. That superior attitude of y’all’s on this single topic speaks volumes. I’d venture to say that the majority of us have more time relieving ourselves at the range than you have shooting. Thanks for your contributions.Yes, this ^^
It's quite obvious, the attackers above have little to no first hand experience like we do.
Similar to you, I have 19 years of buying/selling (not my day job either) on various forums w/ over $100k's of PP experience.
I did not come on here to start a fight. I just wanted to learn... since i think i have a pretty good idea of how PP works.
Heaven forbid that i provide my thoughts regarding disappointment in Buyers pushing 'Friends and Family Discretely' to people that are NOT friends nor family and thus NOT protected.
Those that came out with the pitchforks, you should be embarrassed.
Worst case, admit defeat and attempt to learn vs. defend an incorrect assumption.

Is that how they get to sell shit without paying or honestly participating in the group?If you search brainstodart it only comes up in this and the other thread...unless I'm doing it wrong.
I'm just here to see your "99.9% more" PayPal transactions. You toss up a thread like this over 350 bones? I can assure you there are folks here that do insane amounts of transactions through PayPal. Your, "I'm Mr. Deep pockets" response is just a reflection of your EGO. You have multiple ways to get the funds back. I suggest you use you spend your time doing that. I have been here a minute and on other forums. Never burned anyone and never been burned.
I didn't loose anything. LOL
Fuck you are right... I read all your responses and thought, this dude is pretty butthurt... This makes my point even more valid though. You are here stirring up shit and you aren't even involved in the original fuckery. Yup, massive EGO issues! You are now on my watch list.
Keep digging that grave, but don't hurt yourself with that shovel before you are done.
The fuckery continues, scoop, scoop, scoop... You are getting deeper.When you have nothing to offer...insult, respond to the wrong person, get confused, change the subject and create a diversion.
Glad you have "been here a minute" to be that accomplished.

I never thought about people being here only to buy and sell but a couple have shown themselves. Piss on those scum bags.Keep digging that grave, but don't hurt yourself with that shovel before you are done.
Is it wrong for people who have favorable discretionary spending/funds for their hobbies to participate in this forum?
Is it fair to say that people with money who buy and sell cannot contribute to this forum?
It's comical how ya'll have deviated from the original point of contention in my first post to the OP.
I can remind you, it was buyers using PP F&F and Sellers requiring F&F.
Quite a few of you have reading comprehension challenges, ADD or just hateful and bored.
When you can no longer stay on point...change the subject.
Get out the pitchforks and go after the guys that like to spend their hard earned money on gear.
Is the hate brought about by jealousy?
My reference to transactions or money spent over the years wasn't to brag at all. Just provide a FACT regarding my EXPERIENCE with PP transactions.
Most of you alls posts display immaturity, going after someone like me....changing the point of the thread entirely.
I'll bow out and apologize for the misfortune the OP went through by getting scammed.
It sucks. I hope others learn from it.
Unfortunately, those of you with the pitchforks and misinformation detract from the greater good here.
I felt like pp had more to do with me getting ripped than the asshole that got my scope on eBay. They refunded his payment and he never returned shit. He said it wasn’t as described but it was a cut and paste description from the manufacturer. Pp didn’t give a shit. They gave him the money and of course he kept the scope. That was 14 years ago so shit has probably changed now but it won’t happen again.No sir not jealous at all, as I spend money on this hobby as well. It is more of the argument of us trying to hide something from you. I have been absolutely kicked in the teeth by Paypal as a seller on "other" selling platforms. All you need to do is a little research. I can't count on my hands the different ways the buyers have gotten away with outright theft and PayPal happily aids them. Before you start on the "scopes" don't violate their policy... Think again. Vortex Viper I sold on eBay, PayPal locked my shit down for selling "a firearm part" at least that is what the verbiage was in my correspondence with them. Wrong or Right no one I know has the change to challenge them, and having a good attorney does nothing. They just ignore it. The worst one was a Magnacharger I sold that was "damaged" in shipping. Thank god I got a partial credit from FedEx so it was only a 3300 hit instead of 5950.
