I messaged him/her asking when I can expect to receive my item, but have not received a reply as yet (not that I really expect to)

I'm not sure whether it's one of us, but someone just left a negative feedback on our LEADER METALLIC OPTIMUS PRIME + JETFIRE seller due to the seller not accepting PayPal.

thats strange? i dont think any of us have had any trouble paying with paypal or there would be a post venting about it.

somewhere around 5am i noticed i was the only one online and there were 20+ guests lurking about - could be one of them.

Well my Paypal payment has gone unclaimed by the seller up until I just cancelled the payment when I received this from eBay:

Seriously though... I hope no one here actually expected to get the item. Like I said, it just smelt like BS from the start.

It reminds me of a couple of years ago when bibyco had a Transformer for sale for zero dollars. I think everyone who was a member here at the time tried to order one only to have the order cancelled. I'm sure that was a mistake whereas the above seller is more in the business of scamming.

Like you said in the beginning of this discussion - if its too good to be true, it probably is.

Maybe the seller just wanted paypal details. Who knows what they can do with it. Maybe all the people who bought from him/her will start receiving scam email pretending to be from Paypal asking you to change your password or login from a link in the email.... and then paypal account gets stolen.

I'd beware guys.
