Maybe he will respond, since he is currently logged on.

Nope it looks like he just came on here to delete all of his posts.

You can delete all of your posts? I didn't know that.

[bn2cardz]

You can edit your post deleting it all out so the only thing left is the word "delete" as is the case here.

This is why I hate Paypal and Ebay. I miss money orders and checks. It was impossible to get screwed over like this back then once you got paid and the sale was completed. Try to show Paypal the email as evidence if it helps. Make sure you have the headers so they can trace that the email was sent from him.

What a clown this guy sounds like...

Definitely keep us updated...it's too bad BS like this has permeated this site.

I have had some great transactions with members recently through the B/S/T and could not be happier.

unfortunately that link doesn't show anything.

i feel like i did a deal with him in the past that went smoothly. not sure what or why he would be flakey all of a sudden.

I went and looked at his posts earlier tonight and copied his first thread (pasted below), then I got sidetracked with the kids. Apparently he has since deleted them. He joined in late August of this year and the next day this was very first thread:

He's apparently done with card collecting and is now only active in card stealing. This must be a gem of a memory for him. What a gutless a$$.

Unreal that we have to worry about stuff like this on this board.

Does anyone know if I have any experience with getting the funds back from Paypal? What would need to be done?
Thanks,
Cory

Only a moderator can delete a post entirely and it's very seldom, if ever, done (operational ones notwithstanding). Any member can edit out all of, or part of, their own comments at any time, unless a thread is locked.

While I've never done business with him, I've spoken with Brian about T206 collecting, and he seemed like a good guy. Hopefully he'll jump on here, and clear this up as a misunderstanding, and your card will be on its way back to you.

That being said, if a card is to be returned, one should always contact the seller first. It's just common courtesy.

Cory, was the purchase made via goods & services, or gift? That is the first step in determining if you have any recourse. If it's gift, you might be out of luck with Paypal. However, you should still have legal options.

Again, let's hope it does not come to that. I am hoping that Brian is a man of honor, and will do what is right here.

[AddieJoss]

It was not a gift, but rather as a good.

Same here. I've shared many PMs with Brian and I can say that doesn't sound like him at all. In fact, one of the things we talked about the most was all the corruption in the hobby. He always seemed like a stand up guy to me.
