It was my own fault. There were SEVERAL signs that I missed.

User: xiaoliusyeah, -6 rep...derp de derp Embarrassed

(A. I forgot to double check his BTC address, it didn't have the funds in it.
(B. He took FOREVER (I found it strange, but didn't cotton on)
(C. He offered me a lower price than what I offered
(D. He changed the amount he would sell me at the last second
(E. He wanted me to put a message saying "yeeyay"

So obviously B, C, D & E add up to the conclusion he was buying BTC/something from somebody else, in scamming me to pay his guy.

~~Purchased all I need, trade closed.~~

I got scammed, still buying.

YOU were scammed and you bought with PP??? Unpossible.

BTW PP gift CAN and is often reversed. Toss in funding via CC and it's a lock it can be disputed. As for using escrow, unless seller waits 45-90 days before the coins are sent, it's useless.

All PayPal can be reversed. If you sell BTC for PayPal them expect to be scammed.

(gift payment's are irreversible)

Incorrect.

I'd thank you to not sabotage my thread with false information.

Gift payments are irreversible unless an account has been compromised and then an unauthorized reversal can be made by PayPal - which is why I offer full identification methods (bullet point 2 and 3 under For skeptical sellers) to safeguard the seller.

You should include that information in the OP then. Not try to assure people PayPal Gift is irreversible when you, clearly, know it is not.

Only an idiot wouldn't understand but at the risk of starting an argument with an ignoramus...

You're too right! The remark in question has been removed. Roll Eyes
