DISPUTE Information
######################

Surferboy221 Took $900 USD from me but never delivered any account info, it has been more than 24 hours, and no refund either.
Link of transaction thread: https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/105...t-876-Holy-Pally-4-Legendaries-Tons-of-Vanity!!
Approximate value of property: $900.00 USD

Was a middleman used?
No

Provide information about the dispute and what lead to it:
Me and a few friends are coming back to wow on US-servers, and i browsed around and left a message on surferboy221's thread, contacted him via Skype, he also told me he have a DK for sale as well, so i decided to buy it for my friend as well.

First payment he refunded me, cos his paypal cannot draw any money out, and so he wanted me to send money to his other paypal account. I sent him total of $900 USD family and friends.
He told me his brother got all the information, and he couldnt reach him at that time. So he asked me to wait.

Next morning, he told me his brother sold both of these accounts. Surferboy221 told me he will refund me 900 asap, i told him either he can give me his brother's rogue or refund me.

Up until now, There no reply from Surferboy221 and no refund as well.

TLDR; paid for 2 wow accts, 1 pally, 1 DK total of $900 USD thru paypal. Never got any account information from Surferboy221, and no refund

which is understandable.
Surfer how much is your account negative by?

And honestly transferring money to your bank account before sale is completed is shady
 
renotified to respond since he was on and did not update.

Well first thing first, I wouldn't have gotten the notification anyone wrote in here unless you pmd me.
clement, I've been nothing but cool and responding to every message on skype to fix things why didn't you write that in Skype, you just said you want the rogue. I am $700 negative from a previous account I sold on here that the money was recalled and account wasn't.
i am working on that claim with PayPal still and if all goes well you'll get money within a week or so since it'll clear right through. What happened was it went negative and before I got a chance to take money from bank they stopped the xfer to bank and kept it on PayPal to clear the negative.

- - - Updated - - -

Working on finding you a rogue as theres a higher chance of me trading for something for you.

clementchantb already stated he wishes a full refund instead of another account.
 
Buyer should never have to deal with this, your acct being negative and whatever happened to your PayPal is none of my business.

This is 100% your responsibility not mine. I'm just a buyer who wanted to buy some accts that's it. How the hell would I know what happened to your PayPal. U shouldhv known better. And withdrawing money right away is just wrong.

It's Christmas over here and I would have to wait another 2 days to cal bank/ PayPal.

If surferboi finds me a rogue with BiS legendaries like the one he showed me in skype. Or a high ilvl DH with 2x legendary one being anger of the half giants. I'll just be fine with it and close this case since I need a good char right now.

Already stated clear on Skype I will let this go if he does indeed compensated me with an acct or char that fits my requirement. If it doesn't fit I'll prefer full refund of 900

If he cannot find me anything close or similar to that. I'll just want my refund.

Sounds like a plan Clement.
 
If he has accounts to trade, as he claims, he can sell them and have money sent directly to you

Already stated that before you said that to him. Told him I will do that.
 
[HIDE=300]
If he has accounts to trade, as he claims, he can sell them and have money sent directly to you
I wouldnt suggest that's the best idea, he tried to scam me for 400$, I was trying to buy his DK, I think the same one, and he kept telling me to go first, and under so circumstances he will go first. I did post a few warnings to which had stated "When you go to a shop, do you takae the item and pay later", I'm pretty sure he will just scam others.
[/HIDE]
 
he told me to give him until friday, he said his dispute is still open with paypal.

as soon as it clears he said he will have money... updated just now from skype.
 
Just commenting on here - Unrelated to this claim. I will be filing my own scam claim against Surferboy221 by 6PM today if he has not resolved our issue. He also sold me an account and did not give info. Claimed that the account had already been sold but did not refund me my money. I put in a stop payment so I did not lose money, but now my paypal account is negative. He seemed cooperative at first, but has been less so today. I have been trying to get him to contact paypal with me for the past 72 hours to no avail.

Like I said seems like an intentional scam. Why would you take money out of account prior to delivering. He was given til tomorrow but i would recall funds.

phew lucky i dodged a bullet on that one. Was just about to buy an account off this kid also.
 
i think it might be wise to list his paypal email as scam alert so even if he uses another name, people can check the paypal email
 
He got me for $400 with this same song and dance, on Wed. 11th 2017... I had been talking with him on Skype for a fews weeks previously and at that time, he had not been banned here.
 
This is a situation we normally call, going out with a bang. its essentially robbing as much as you can before getting caught and not coming back, at least not under same identity
 
guy got me too just had account recalled that I bought in November from him. Contacted his phone number and got an answer saying it was the original owner that recalled it. called and he blocked my number. Filled a claim after seeing this.
