I have my names pointed to efty.com landing pages and BIN buttons redirect to escrow.com.
So I received email that somebody initiated the transaction ($2,995)
Woohoo I think.
Some back and forth with the buyer. She's from Colombia so at times I had to guess what she meant (crappy translation) but hey, it's $3k so suck it up.
She was not happy about the escrow fees ($188) - so against my better judgment I offered paypal (I did a little "background check" and she seems legit). And you can't do a charge back when sending payment as a gift to a friend so I thought I will risk it.
So anyway I see notification from Paypal - you have received $3 (2.55 after fees).
![Er... what? O_o O_o](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
What? why would she pay $3?...
... .....
Wait wait waaait a minute!
Don't tell me she thought it's $2.99...
LOL![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I wasted 5 hours and stayed until 4 AM for $2.55![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
And she paid as a normal payment not a gift.
I refunded it and tried very hard not to say what I think about the whole clusterfuck.
Aaaghh![Sick :sick: :sick:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
