Re: BEWARE!!! A WARNING when selling items on forums

...did she get banished from mallvibes?

b/c I have a funny feeling about someone buying from me paying by paypal, when they said they're negotiating it for a friend who just made an account and is in vancouver. even tho it says their location is in: north america

Re: BEWARE!!! A WARNING when selling items on forums

i believe she did b/cuz her posts are removed. check with ryeguy if your not sure or you can pm him with the user.

but trust your instincts mz.g. if the person pays for it and her friend meets up with you, how is the girl going to pick it up from her friend? she's gunna have to get it sent there! don't do it if they're paying by paypal & meeting up.

DAMN I swear this girl just doesn't get it at ALL even after all this mess she made.

You know after I asked Ryan to delete her account on MV, she emailed me saying, 'oh you were the bitch who got me banned on Mallvibes, you know how long I took to take all those pictures and write all those descriptions [on her buy/sell thread].. blah blah blah." It's like, do you not understand you can't just get away with shit like this? I swear she really thought that people would totally just forget and let her go back to selling stuff that she probably stole and still be a cocky little 14-year-old she is.

She is so freaking lucky that I didn't go to her locker to drop off my stuff before she got busted because if I lost and money in this or had to go through what everyone else went through... I would've NEVER made it so easy for her. But thanks to Marie and her boyfriend, she at least got SOME of the punishment she deserved. Too bad, because I'm sure we all wanted her to pay some more for wasting our time.

People like this need to get a life.
OMG. k0oty. same thing. she told me she was interested in some of my stuff. and even though when i said i could only meet up within richmond, she kept asking if i could go to sperling station near brentwood mall. so i just kept saying no and she just kept on repeating it again. next, cause i really wanted cash, haha i asked her if she could go to metrotown. she said yess.. but i bailed caause i had a party to go to. next, she tells me where she goes to school and asked me if i could take paypal. i said yes and she said she would transfer the money to my account, and after she said she would tell me her combo and tell me to put the stuff in her locker. i ended up not sellin it to her. it was a good choice, cause she wanted like $200 + worth of stuff.

don't accept paypal if they're local. meet up with them to drop off the stuff and take cash. people will come up with crazy scenarios and excuses as to why they want to do it their way.

Re: MUST READ: A WARNING when selling items on forums

I haven't been on mallvibes in forever.. probably because of the SCAM mentioned and discussed above!

I'm glad to hear 2 people received their money back!!

I am supposed to meet up with her tomorrow at Lougheed Mall to get my money back.

I'm hoping it will be quick and simple!!

Re: MUST READ: A WARNING when selling items on forums

And YES, DEFINITELY in the future ONLY CASH transactions!!

i had one meeting with a fellow mallvibes member that went excellent.

It was at a public place (brentwood mall), i let her try on the item, and then she paid me in cash! PERFECT!
