Also bear in mind that customs may hold up the package for a bit of time, so be sure the buyer knows that he might not have it in his lap in a week.
PSP still hasn't answered my original question. How did he sell the bike? How did the buyer find out about the bike?...and to all you who think Paypal offers you some type of protection....they don't! If PSP doesn't already have a Paypal account why would he set up one? Just to lose more money on the sale. There is something missing from this story which is why I predicted it would go bad...D
the only place i posted it for sale was here on ridemonkey. i plan on transferring the money from my paypal to my bank account before the bike gets mailed.PSP still hasn't answered my original question.

I get what your saying, but instead of coming off really defensive, maybe you should read mine again as well, People Use western union As part of ther scma, guess I need3ed to explain it in a bit more detail, You receive a money order/cashiers check, which is forged, From a random bank, and you are asked to Send the remainder Via Western Union. I never said Western Union was a bank.Ok, one more time. Western Union is NOT A BANK. If someone pays you western union YOU GET CASH. There is no excess to send back. There is no money order. A seller cannot get screwed being paid by western union. End of story.
You need to read the posts you were replying to again.
ok well that makes things a little better.... have you figured out the shipping costs and paypal fees?...Dthe only place i posted it for sale was here on ridemonkey. i plan on transferring the money from my paypal to my bank account before the bike gets mailed.
Just make sure you ship to a confirmed address WITH TRACKING NUMBER. Otherwise, once they get the bike, they can claim they never got it and PayPal will take the funds back unless you can prove you shipped it to the correct address with proof.the only place i posted it for sale was here on ridemonkey. i plan on transferring the money from my paypal to my bank account before the bike gets mailed.
I did not know that. Good info!only problem with that is Paypal will not confirm a German address....and to me that's a HUGE hurdle....D
Has great english?? hmmmm maybe speaks great english?? So do plenty of terrorists, you're going to trust someone because of the literary skills? Trustworthy person you are.... hahe has great english,
Thats very true, One of the reasons I dislike Shipping overseas, when I do ship overseas, I dont give My buyer a choice, they are buying insurance, and I also buy Delivery Confirmation. Whatever I need to Cover myself.only problem with that is Paypal will not confirm a German address....and to me that's a HUGE hurdle....D
Let me guess, all brown people are terrorists too?Has great english?? hmmmm maybe speaks great english?? So do plenty of terrorists, you're going to trust someone because of the literary skills? Trustworthy person you are.... ha
You say that as if it weren't true.Let me guess, all brown people are terrorists too?
Was just there last week. I speak terrible german, and was able to get by just fine. Everyone spoke perfect english.Note:
Most young Germans speak perfect English. They teach it in the schools.
Doesn't make any of them more trustworthy.
hmm.. way to misinterpret where i was going with that one. Nothing to do with terrorism, or "brown people" as you may say. More of a notion of just because someone has a education that grants them perfect english skills doesn't necesarilly mean they are "trustworthy".Let me guess, all brown people are terrorists too?
WTF did terrorists have to do with this? Culture of fear much?
Fixed.As we see regularly, most Americans do not speak anything even vaguely resembling perfect English
hey,
i´m the guy pinkshirt is talking about. Trust me, im no scammer.
you asked why i want to buy the frame - it's simple - someone said it before, just because the frames are much more expensive here in Europe. and we are not all terrorists!!!! ;-)
Welcome!hey,
i´m the guy pinkshirt is talking about. Trust me, im no scammer. Had the same problem at pinkbike. Want to buy a v10 frame from a guy in England. Send him few mails, he replied but then i found in ridemonkey a buy&sell announcement with the same pictures. Contacted the guy from rm and asked him if he put his bike in pinkbike. Sure he didn´t and so i was a little bit of angry and informed pb. I´m selling my old frame too and hope that there is no scammer. I can only say that i now have the money and will pay.I also think about if pinkshirt will send me the frame.

Would it be better had he learned it from a band of wolves???not going to lie, schrecka has excellent english for only learning it in school.... i am going box hunting today hopefully i can find one so i can get this ball rolling. I am so excited.
Shhh....i am going box hunting today
That would certainly be an improvement over PSP teaching him, and may very well beat the American public school system. I imagine the Germans schools can do better though.Would it be better had he learned it from a band of wolves???

How about, if we are going to pick someone apart for being illiterate, we try to throw a little punctuation into the mix ourselves.Welcome to the monkey, no offense was ever meant for you, its just a real blast Picking PsP to peices.
Don't snuggle up to Transcend. He's just trying to cover up for the fact that he's the Canadian connection for "brownie".hmm.. way to misinterpret where i was going with that one. Nothing to do with terrorism, or "brown people" as you may say. More of a notion of just because someone has a education that grants them perfect english skills doesn't necesarilly mean they are "trustworthy".
That would help, But at the same time, I know mine sucks. Up front full on admition on that one.!!!!!How about, if we are going to pick someone apart for being illiterate, we try to throw a little punctuation into the mix ourselves.
