This post was edited in May of 2022. Please read. This thread contains verified and suspected MyTT For Sale thread scammers starting around 2014. I usually ban members permanently when their scamming is verified, so some people end up on this list after the fact. However, I have also posted some email addresses to beware of, and also I have provided information that I have learned from moderators of other forums where scamming has occurred. Keep in mind is that previously identified scammers will often return under a new name, and of course with VPNs the use of IP addresses to identify them is pretty much a thing of the past. So some of the information in this thread is still useful (for example country of origin, the methods used in the scams, etc.). Note that sometimes I need to keep lines of communications open and so cannot ban people immediately in every instance. The best way to use this thread is to go to the end (the most recent) and then work your way backwards. If you have reason to suspect you are being scammed, let me know. But for entertainment purposes you can read from here downwards see some of the strange stuff that has happened over the years. Edited by Baal - 05/27/2022 at 7:16am |

I paid $110 via Paypal gift for a Nittaku blade on 08/01. He did say he's gonna ship it the same day. Hope he didn't lie.

4.5% is so little on the figures you are quoting as payments, you are saving $7 to lose $150

Gift payment should be banned by pay pal. Never use this option otherwise you can't get your money back.

I think people need to look at the feedback section more before making a purchase. Anyone can be a scumbag and if they aren't known for being honest we shouldn't trust them.

Be aware that EJoslin is the same person as Buy&sellblades and SadistiClown, and this person's behavior is unfathomable and obsessive (since this person commented in this thread !!!). On websites like this, banned members can come back like zombies and this can be hard to police. Cameron, I really think you need help. I think you can enjoy table tennis without being on a table tennis forum. It would really be best for you.
I would strongly recommend that people not use the paypal gift option, and also I would suggest that it is not reasonable for sellers here to demand it. The vast majority of transactions here go off smoothly, and when they don't, members usually handle things themselves in a fair manner and it never comes to the attention of a moderator. Once in a while we have to intervene. Read the rules, and be careful! We have discussed having a rule against allowing sellers to demand the gift option of Paypal. For now we have decided to allow buyers and sellers to make whatever arrangements they wish. But I would personally never agree to it and I don't see why you should either. |

Hey friends, this guy is telling me that he has refunded the money everyone. Is that true?
And he says that i´m lucky because Paypal doesn´t warrant a refund of a gifted payment. I´m still waiting for my money. His obligation is to refund my money even if i paid like a gift. What´s the difference? Edited by Antuan - 08/05/2014 at 2:03pm |

Paypal fee is 2.9% plus $.30. That means for a $100 sale the fee is $3.20. What kind of seller would not absorb $3.20 on a $100 sale??? |

You are lucky, in Belgium that would have been impossible. If paid as gift and not received, then it is lost.

My paypal is linked with my credit card, once the payment is marked as completed, the money is gone and you can't do anything about it if it has been sent as gift.
