I used PP for the transactions I bought on here. I think it really takes trust anymore that someone won't reverse a transaction or pull the "not delivered" crap on you. I like to PM and get an idea and make sure the seller has my info before I purchase, that way it doesn't seem cryptic or shady. If I'm interested I give my name address and all to them before purchase. But trust is a big part of it. I personally won't buy from someone where their first post is a sale item. A lot of forums have a minimum forum posting rule before allowing selling too (say 50 real posts in the forum before selling.) Same with buying. If someone's first post is asking to buy from you and their profile is blank and name is just garbled junk, I would personally ignore them as that could be a red flag, much like the arguments above about extremely similar accounts after someone is banned. Kenai almost shipped that board without my payment in the bank I think, that's how much communication went on between he and I because I was out of town and trying to purchase it from him. But the whole Paypal payment reversal thing really is shady when people do it.. consider signature delivery at their expense if you deal with someone not really known on the forum. That proves it was delivered and the only way that Paypal will accept proof of delivery (delivery confirmation does NOT count... must have a signature.) That's my two cents.. hope it helps.

No no, there was no deal to throw some outerwear
I tossed in an extra jacket, solely because I'm fuckin' RAD.
No other reason than that.
Just sold that Arc-Teryx jacket with some burton pants to a different forum member
He'll be gettin' free brand new gloves for his ball & chain.:jumping1:
A nice little get out of jail card perhaps? Mwa ha ha ha
TT
There may be less bonus prizes though?
I quoted rpadc $50 to ship it, & it turned out costing $96 bucks.
Still only charged him the $50 I quoted though.
Double burn, it cost me $46 bucks.
Just to give that jacket away for FREE
Sorry for the inaccuracy. And that you got dinged on the shipping. I was tapped out by that point and had to hold to your original quote. Hope karma rewards you for the good will.No no, there was no deal to throw some outerwear

At least the jacket bombed down a volcano in Chile.

Tried to buy Cartels RE:Flex version from SnowDogWax, began communications with the dude a month ago, middle of November. Extremely spotty communications. He had originally posted in a thread of mine saying he had some Cartels RE:Flex to sell. I then PM'd SnowDogWax about their status.
He said they're available and I replied back saying I'd take them. Several inquiries later, I received no responses from SnowDogWax. Later on, I found he had started a new For Sale thread for the very same Cartels we started our communications on. I had to post in his thread to ask him specifically to check his PM's and respond to my inquiries. This was 1-2weeks after our initial communications. SnowDogWax responded by saying he'll have to check on the shipping costs. I responded by saying please let me know as soon as he knows about the shipping costs. This was a week or 2 prior to Thanksgiving 2015.
Today, I sent SnowDogWax YET another PM to see if these are still available. He responded back by telling me that these have been sold. WOW. After nearly a month of communications, mostly from my end, he had sold these bindings. And of course he hasn't updated his own For Sale thread yet. He's now adding to his lies and BS. He just responded back to me and said they're pick-up ONLY, when in one of the rare communications from him, he'd check on the shipping cost (again, he never got back to me), and even his own For Sale thread doesn't say pick-up ONLY.
This is from our PM's: This was back in November 15th 2015, and it was the last communication from him until I PM'd him again today, December 9th 2015:
Here's the communication from today, December 9th 2015:
chi sin lo is upset because I sold the Cartel bindings I had here in Colorado. I have 7 PM's from him today. I pleaded Colorado vacation insanity asked for forgiveness. Told him I had 2 NEW pairs of Cartels in Pittsburgh & was leaving Copper Friday and would ship him a pair. :dizzy::shithappens: while on vacation....
oke:
You couldn't tell me you were on vacation? You know, you could have slipped me that information in the mist of all the PM's I sent you.chi sin lo is upset because I sold the Cartel bindings I had here in Colorado. I have 7 PM's from him today. I pleaded Colorado vacation insanity asked for forgiveness.

You going on vacation is not my problem. And if you are going to be on vacation, then don't tell people you'll sell this or that, and you'll check the shipping costs on this and that. Yeah, shit happens on vacation. That's why you let the person know.
I'm done communicating with you man. We started discussing this in the middle of November. A WHOLE FUCKING MONTH ago. I have better luck talking to Comcast than to you. Communicating to you is like praying to God, who knows if I'm going to hear back or not. You've wasted enough of my time already and I'm going to exercise my patience somewhere else.
I don't know if I want to start another discussion with you. You know, PM's, something you need to respond to. They're kind of like emails but restricted to these forums. And you said you'll "ship" them, how do I know that's not code for "Pick-up ONLY"?
