So I just recently contacted a forum member, who at this point shall remain unnamed, about a product they were selling. The product happened to be one of the latest expensive video cards. I asked a few questions and then told them I would buy it once they sent me their paypal info. They said if I sent paypal I would have to include the 3% extra. I was like fine. So they gave me their paypal info and I tacked on 3% using my computer calculator onto the price that they quoted me. I sent that payment last night to them. This morning, while I was working, they message back saying they received payment but I was a few cents short. Yah a few cents. Before I had a chance to respond the other party about sending them another payment for the remainder if needed, the other person already sent me a message saying they sold it to someone else while refunding my money through paypal.
Now I did get the money back. But I find the whole ordeal a really less than ethical move. I have other words I would express but I am keeping it clean here in this post. Point is, if I was willing to send them over $2000 for a part, that another less than a $1 amount I would have no problem with. I thought we had an agreement and I fulfilled my end of the agreement by making payment. I am not sure how this forum handles behavior like this by sellers. I have been here a long time and have never had anything like this happen to me. If any forum mods want to contact me for further details then I am happy to oblige.
