Nope, it was just on the news. Guy took an etransfer for a $1000 pair of shoes. It showed up in his account so he let the guy have them. Twenty minutes later he checked and money was not there.

That really doesn't make any sense. If that is truly the case, then they are basically saying they do not want to play in the e-transfer game. Most, if not all exchanges are done by e-transfer. Think of how many exchanges are done over the internet and shipped.

I've made people wait till the etransfer was in my account for over an hour once.I would rather have cash.

 

[Crustyolddude]

Cash �� only.

 

[SHREK1]

Shiity someone needs to go out of their way to screw someone. Every year you can trust people less and less. I am guilty of taking people at their word so would imagine i get bit someday.

Ya those losers screw it up for us normal people. I wouldn't think about it to much from my experience those kind of people get whats coming to them. Stealing a belt and some oil kinda makes me laugh what he's 12 years old. Lol

Cash is King!

Sorry about your experience Shawn.... we live in the world of no ethics!

yeah sledders are a awesome group of people....and I suspect he definitely wasn’t one...oh well lesson learned. Like I said I wasn’t concerned on the value but making sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.



I figured in mid 40’s I’ve learned all the lessons. Lol.

I was saying it is the buyers problem.

Why is that my problem if I'm the seller? If my item is that good of deal that it cant even wait a day or it will be gone, you best have some cash or your SOL. lol

 

[Tchetek]

Many times the time waiting on transfer has been used to Cruz the shop and BS while consuming a cold one or two.

No way i wanta Cruz the shop with a Kijiji buyer.

I will go out of my way to meet people and not have them come scope my shat.

But that attitude also turned me Into a pack rat and I should purge.

Ok my bad, thought we were talking about selling here.


But yeah, cash is king. No email transfers for this guy.

Found a 69 charger on kijiji nothing fancy but had lots of potential same rims and paint as the dukes...anyway s I messaged the guy he took forever to respond then when he did he said he was in the eastern states but the car was at his dad's by red deer...long story short we chatted back and forth I never pursued it something seemed off a couple days later I seen a scammer add for the same car. I guess a guy from Saskatchewan put a g note down for a deposit and never heard from the guy again. With the economy in the dumps scammers and crime gonna go up big time!

 

[catmando]

I do a lot on kijiji, prefer marketplace but if you are trusting people that’s your first mistake, treat like a business transaction and you will be fine. I do etransfer all the time. When my account says the money is there, they get there shat lol

 

[jhurkot]

For **** sakes, that was a really good deal and he still had to **** you over. Might not be a bad idea to snap a picture of a drivers license on e-transfers.

There's usually lots of internet tough guys on this forum. Surprised no one from Calgary has volunteered to go 'buy' these items back.

I went and tried to find the ad on there to do just that but I am far from a tough guy haha.

 

[longtrack 156]

Take a photo? I wouldn't mind if someone took my pic if I were buying or selling? Then if you posted on social media we could all see!!!

 

[deaner]

That sucks.

I almost feel bad for the guy in a strange way. I can't imagine being such a worthless POS that you would throw away any dignity you have for a couple hundred bucks. It's one thing to be a piece of ****, but for $200. That's just pathetic

 

[doorfx]

I get people to come to my front door. I have a doorbell camera so I have video or still shots of them.

It is truly sad that a guy would do it for $200
