I got screwed over on the BST today!

"This is inaccurate. First, the deal was made...it was not a failed deal. Buyer paid via regular paypal and when I asked him if he would send via paypal gift as described in the listing he opted to pay $100 more (it was a $2700 deal and he paid the extra $100 to cover the paypal fees and overnight shipping). That was his choice. I offered to refund the original payment and have him send the exact same amount he had paid via paypal gift"

I guess you are talking about the deal you did with me.
Those details are not 100% accurate.
I bought your M116 wagner that you were originaly asking 2750.00 for.
After the listing was up for what you said "45 min" I offered you 2625.00.
You said if you can come up to 2675.00 it is a deal.
Within 1 Min I agreed. We then spoke on the phone and I said I did not feel comfortable paying FF so could I cover the fees. Also at that time you said you would ship the package 1 day mail at your dime. I then paid you instantly for 2750.00 regular paypal.
Then we had an issue because you actually never had the card in hand. 4 days later you now have it. Then you told me you had other people saying they wanted the card and had an offer of 3250.00 along with other offers of 2750 with FF. Then you called me with the card in hand and asked if I could come up on my original offer. We then agreed Id come up another 75.00 to make it as if you got the original 2750 that you wanted. I then asked if you would mail it 1 day mail. And you asked I was paying for that option. So i gave you 100.00 in total extra for a total of 2850.00 for the card.
I love the card. And it is being authenticated now.
This was my only experience with this seller. I also contacted Leon after the transaction.

One thing seems to be clear though, a deal is never done with Gobucs after terms are agreed upon.

"Then you called me with the card in hand and asked if I could come up on my original offer."

To be clear, this was after you had paid and the deal was, in your mind, done?

"

100% yes
Paid and waiting for my card to come.

Why did you pay more then? Was he threatening to refund your money and take one of his claimed higher offers? Or were you just afraid of losing the deal?

OK I see your second post now.

He was supposed to mail it the day he got it 1 day mail to me. It was expected to come monday he told me. Ended up coming Thursday.(to him, not me)
After that he asked for more money. After being strung along I just wanted the card and the deal to be done. So I agreed to giving him the extra 100.00 as he said he needed money for X reasons.

I dont care to go into this anymore. Other than the fact I feel taken.

So you don't recall me asking if you would allow me to refund you so that you could simply re-send the money via Paypal FF and you opting, that is making a choice on your own accord, to send $100 more to cover the Paypal fees and overnight shipping as I had asked for payment via Paypal FF?
