You foolish buyer
PayPal gift should not be used
To pay new members

I would like it in rhyming couplets

There once was a bloke, he was really sad
Spunked his daughters cash, on an old Ipad

It’s been a week, and still no sign
Apparently it’s pitchfork time

Lesson learnt, despite the thrift
Never pay with paypal gift

You foolish buyer
PayPal gift should not be used
To pay new members

Snap! Haiku!

Can somebody please give me a summary of what’s happened?

I would like it in rhyming couplets or haiku if possible.

Here’s Ollie with the thread report.

Guy advertised iPad

Guy Paid by PayPal gift

Not his Fault

Guy hasn’t received iPad after 5 days

Guy got angry, posted on internet

Both got flamed.

And the OP says up there ^ he’s found the seller and given him a big slice of fist pie.

If the OP has used violence to resolve this, it says a lot about the type of person the OP is. Disgraceful.

Are you all missing this bit:

Right daydream over

🙄

Here we have, a possibly ripped off, forum user in his natural habitat. The STW Classifieds.

We can tell by his furious typing that he has paid for something with Paypal gift.

Although, the pheromones he is releasing, suggest he believes this is an innocent mistake to make, and seems confused at the treatment he is receiving.

With no sign of the accused member, the forum has sensed weakness, so shuns the forum member. Some mocking him.

Ostracised, the forum member moves to another part of the internet…maybe to start his own tribe of Audi owning, IT managing, Orange riding bipeds.

jamie. Genius… Thanks!

Ok so hands up who reads Jamie’s post ‘in the voice’?

😆 excellent work

Good work Jamie.

You think a trader would know better than using PayPal gift!?

Mother ****** advertises iPad.

Mother ****** buys it with mother ****** Paypal gift.

OP wants to know where his mother ******* iPad is.

Mother ****** has gone all silent like a snake mother ******

OP post on the mother ******* forum.

Mother ******* forum ******* give him ****.

Mod’s try to appease OP with a mother ******* Etch-a-mother-*******-sketch

…on the plus side, That’s my Bad Mother ****** wallet!

The one thing worse than buying Marzocchi is to buy used sealed electronic goods anyway IMO

Jamie…you’re wasted on here…

Jamie, you’re reported for swear filter avoidance in accordance with the mother-******* rules. *****!

Mother ****** 🙁

Maybe the fraudster is a Marzocchi rep?

Maybe the fraudster is a Marzocchi rep?

…and here, we see the rare Horaues Allgearnoideaeous ragging on yet another innocent manufacturer.

Jamie, Id add to your rep if I could. Why haz we no rep? Mibbes that would help theses clueless punters parting with large amounts of folding to folk that have just breezed in.

I have genuinely not laughed so much at a thread on this forum since “The Badger” thread.

Do you do bar-mitzvahs?

😀

Received your goods yet, or am I still being patronising? Do you get a guarantee with your expensive purchase?

I think I have a man crush on Jamie – good work sir!

anyone want to buy my IPad?

£150 posted, paypal gift only please

Post reported for advertising on the main forums

Post reported for interfering with other people’s sale threads

Man in ‘I sent cash to a stranger but he promised he was nice” Internet shocker.

The Internet is no different to real life. You wouldn’t just post someone £300 cash and hope for the best would you? Jesus.

Feel sorry for OP’s daughter who lost her Xmas money.

People make mistakes. Those saying OP is a plank, as they never make
mistakes…

Serves a warning to the rest of us.

I wonder if anything has actually been received yet or contact been made?

All seems to have gone a bit silent now

anyone want to buy my IPad?

£150 posted, paypal gift only please

Aye go on then, I’ll send you £150, but i’ll pay the fees.

when will you post?

Nope me and 3 others have been done, looks like I can get my $$ back as I went to the police and got a crime no. Not sure about the others tho (:0(

how do you get your £££ when you gave it to him as a gift? crime number or no crime number?

Does this then implicate you in fee avoidance?

Tricky that. “I gave someone a gift and got nothing in return.” And?

Does this then implicate you in fee avoidance

Is that a crime? 😕

Who would be giving you your money back? I see no reason for PP to be out of pocket for your complicit abuse of their system without them being able to recover the money from the “offender”. And you would have to be a pretty daft scammer to set up their end with money still available.

Nope me and 3 others have been done, looks like I can get my $$ back as I went to the police and got a crime no.

I would be interested to know how you think a crime number will help you get your money back ?

What exactly are you going to do with the crime number.

(I’m not being harsh intentionally, I just don’t see what he’ll a crime number will be that’s all)

*Naomi is watching*

I think you’ll find that he wouldn’t buy anything Over the Internet.. Jesus saves

Just caught up with this thread, sat in a coffee shop. It’s as much as I can do to not embarrass myself by laughing out loud and crying at Jamie’s Mother ****** genius Mother ******ing post. Thank you, sir, and Mother ******ing chapeau to you, you’ve quite made my day. 😆
