Topic: Paxful moderator made me lose $50 (sellers be careful) (Read 692 times)
Sorry to hear that. I had no issues trading with Paxful ever since. I don't know who is this Marcos. I haven't encountered him when I joined. I am very careful in doing my trades. I make sure that all my trades are recorded. I do the recording via Screencast so that in case I got into trouble, I have the clear evidence.

That's crazy talk.
Something similar like this happened to me with an Amazon gift card when I just started trading. I opened a dispute
right on the trade window, an admin stepped in, saw what had happened, and banned the
scammers account. I have been trading on Paxful ever since.

You're lucky. If the moderator was "Marcos", maybe you would lose money. Be careful.
I too had a terrible experience with Marcos of Paxful.
He gave me terrible advice which resulted in me not getting refunded.

I have excellent reputation on Paxful and you can see here on my profile below:

Today the user "Natedagreatgmm1" tried to buy $50 with Amazon gift card (pwA1Pxnr51n). I already sold bitcoin before to this user and all 3 trades in the past were fine. I tried to redeem the card and the card was "already redeemed to another account". I explained it to the buyer Natedagreatgmm1:

The buyer said I was the first seller he sent the gift card. I suggested he to call Amazon or complain to CVS/Pharmacy and he answered nobody helped him. I said I can't accept a used gift card and started a dispute.
After a long conversation with the moderator "Marcos", the moderator decided to award the buyer!!! It's unbelievable.
Conclusion: the message the Paxful moderator is sending is "all buyers can buy a card, buy from one seller, then buy from another and win free money". This is a scammer's dream!!
It's so unbelievable... so I complained in the chat to moderator and the answer is:
"We take a look in all the proofs, all the past trades, everything, this is not a "casino" decision."
Well, so tell me where I scammed any buyer in the past. How can I be a scammer if I have excellent reputation here and on Localbitcoins too:

Well, sellers, if you depend on this moderation, you'll lose money from now. Be careful!
UPDATE: a possible solution is to include a big warning on the ad: "if the card was already used and redeemed to another account, I can't accept it and you MUST cancel the trade. By buying with me you agree with these trade terms".
