How was this scam pulled off exactly on at least 3 people no less?? I assume there is a hard-fought lesson learned here that could be shared with the community to better protect ourselves before being scammed in the same way. ---

He sold 3 of the yo-yos to me in the morning, then around lunchtime sold two of the exact same yo-yos to another guy, then at 8 that night sold all 6 to another guy. I paid g&s 2 of said yo-yos were from a trade on the bst in which he never sent his end of the trade so technically that’s 4 people he scammed. ---

Sorry to hear that. How easy is it dealing with Paypal’s G&S policy to recoup your money? ---

Usually it is fairly easy. If the seller can’t prove he the items arrived as stated to the destinatary a refund has to be made ---
