If you paid with a cc you should be able to do a chargeback though

Legally, there is nothing that the credit card company or Paypal can do about it. All the correspondence in the world has nothing to do with the "gift" that you sent.

R.I.P. OP, you got hustled brah


Wrong. Op will get his money back with ease through his cc company now lock this trash up
 
dope thanks. shipped it with sig confirmation to confirmed address so should be good.

ps. why would u send as gift? i noticed couple days ago, even gift option charges that pp fee. why risk, without saving anyone anything?
 
Haven't used PayPal/eBay in years but keep seeing these "gift" payments on NT. how are you suppose to send it just curious cause NT keeps getting scammed. And OP I got a iPhone 4S for $75 NIB, wassup bro.
 
Sorry man.
Why do people pay as a gift?
You send a gift for your momma.

because they are stupid and people used to do it this way to avoid the 4% fee and were too cheap to add it onto the payment but PayPal now takes the fees out for gift payments anyway; OP needs to pay more attention in those ITT Tech business classes.

On Monday, I emailed him about the tracking number, arrival date, etc. He has failed to respond. PayPal was able to contact him, and he says he hasn't shipped them out yet and he is continuing to not respond to me. In other words, I feel that I am getting scammed. As a result, PayPal is currently monitoring his account. However, I have heard that PayPal is really of no help in this situation. I have kept every single email that he has sent since that email address is linked to his PayPal account. I have already filed a dispute with my credit card company. Any other advice is greatly appreciated.
