The post above prompts me to remind everyone to be careful about dealing with members who are not established or are not well known. PCF does what it can. It requires that people have at least 10 posts before buying or selling in the classifieds with the goal that people would get to know new members. Mods spend a considerable amount of time behind the scenes trying to watch and weed out those trying to join the site to spam and scam. However, 10 posts is not a lot, and in the end, if you are unsure, ask around.
Lol, he has time to reply to other people via PM with stupid comments / looking to get more money, but won't reply to me via PM, email, or the threads... I sent him $1100, think that buys at least a reply...

I think PayPal will see the all the fraud and reverse yours. Once that happens, he will be quick to respond.
time to ditch paypal, their bs and their fees. Isn't there a blockchain solution for this yet?
I use a service called QuadrigaCX but I think it is only available to Canadians. You can immediately transfer funds between CAD/USD/BTC.
Sending BTC is free and then when you want to sit on some funds for a while you can hold them in either CAD or USD which helps you avoid the volatility of BTC. BTC is a fantastic solution in terms of being able to send funds quickly and free anywhere in the world.
For Americans that use BTC that is an option we could look into.
Paypal doesn't care if he is using the account fraudulently... their policy is if you pay via friends and family they will not assist you.
They refused to help me any further and said my only recourse is to contact the authorities.
Update.. got some good news, received a paypal refund yesterday for the full $1100 I sent. (y) :thumbsup:
I attribute this to my bank handling the matter and addressing it with paypal (where paypal was useless).

Just looked at this again on my PayPal and it switched from being resolved 11/17 if he didn’t respond to “under review by PayPal” and expected resolution 12/9 so I’m 100% calling my bank and PayPal tomorrow. Not sure how him being completely proven fradualent before their review would extend it. Will update here monday.

Called PayPal and they explained that the change in my claim status to "under review by PayPal" just meant the seller had issued a refund on 11/9 (two days after filing the claim). They said that the amount should be refunded in my account on 11/19.
Basically our buddy Julien got cold feet and refunded the payment before PayPal or the authorities had to get more involved. He'll probably say its all one big misunderstanding, that he accepted money from half a dozen people for the same product, on accident
. Hope everyone else is being made whole as well and we can put this behind us!

Moneys since been deposited FYI.
PayPal reversed the charge. Seller never even responded to the dispute.
I had to start a claim last week, too. Scammer in Salem OR stringing me along for a month. I'm glad I paid by G&S, should be resolved in my favour eventually.

No, when I first saw them I did a let an Oregonian chipper know about them in case he was interested in checking them out in person. Glad you’ll be getting your money back.
