The number of invoices shouldn't matter as long as you get full price before you ship.

he's on the list so i'm assuming the worst,i dont think he is even a member.he sent it by email and not through tradgang.i did a search for his name and it came up 'does not exist' so i'm assuming he was banned.

Check the wall of shame list.  He is a known scammer.  Thanks for the heads up.

You would think a person who does this regularly could be nailed by our legal system.  I wonder if he can be reported??

Thanks for the heads up

I sold him a bow 2 years ago, he used paypal to pay. I shipped the bow to France with no problems, dont know what happened to him and his reputation after that.. but our transaction went well. good luck with your sale, I usually only take USPS money orders..

well robert...i guess he decided to take the low road.kind of hard for a guy in france to aquire a usps money order one would think.he's on the list so something went wrong somewhere along the line.i lost a 1200.00 widow once to a scammer on fleabay and it wont happen again.i have heard about this scam he is apparently trying out now.after he gets the bow he disputes one of the payments saying it was double billed and 'poof' paypal takes one back from you and congrats you just sold your 550.00 dollar bow for 275.00...not on my watch.

Many things went wrong and he was given several opportunities to change the situation. Deal with him at your own risk and expect no help from here if things go south. Hard for us to help in a deal across an ocean.

ok, I am glad my deal 2 years ago went well,the money sat in my paypal account for a while... 4 years ago I almost got taken by crazywolfjay,guys on this site saved me from making a bad trade...I sold all my bows 2 years ago and only have homemade bows now, I still look at the bow adds and  see plenty of bows I would love to own... its great how we watch out for each other here.
