So I posted junk silver for sale at last Friday's spot price in the Precious Metal forum.

A seasoned CU member reached out to buy xxx plus $10 shipping. Payment via ppff.

I immediately packed the coins up in a bubble mailer awaiting said ppff info & address so I can ship today.

Of course if it's too good to be true, .....it is.

The said member cancelled the order.

Case closed.

    Did he say why he cancelled? Did silver prices drop after you both agreed to a price? Please PM me this person's name.

    Perhaps he considered him to be a friend since he's a fellow forum member. :)

    Yes he did, but spot price never entered into the picture.

    Whether or not it was FF vs GS might not matter, I think they would have been able to cancel regardless.

    He’s not looking to call him out, I assume he would like to know for his own sake so that he doesn’t enter verbal agreements with the member who might do the same thing to him. Honestly, I can’t say I don’t share that sentiment but at the same time we’ve only heard one side of the story.

    So did you ship it off and it has been “stolen” as far as you know, or did they cancel before you sent it off and you still have your goods and they still have their money?

    Lesson: don't go packing until the deal is done ie payment made via electronic payment.

    Paypal FF doesn't provide protection for the buyer.

    Perhaps the buyer in this case had second thoughts and wanted to send Paypal funds using the regular method.

    The OP already deleted the post in his his other thread where the offer was put out there. That thread was two days old but he deleted his posts today, just a couple hours before starting this thread. 🤔

    I'm still not sure what the issue is that is being raised here. Don't trust a forum member? Don't require PPFF? Don't prepare a shipment until the deal is completed? If was the PPFF thing, that method advantages the seller and disadvantages the buyer. I've used it as a buyer before and I'd do it again under the right circumstances, but I don't blame someone for not wanting to use it.

    On eBay is is common for sellers to have a buyer cancel because of a drop in price. It happened 3 times to me. I guess some people just want a free way to speculate on medals' price movement.

    These jerks are the scum of the earth.

    What part of lesson learned didn't you get?

    ie never ever count your eggs before they're hatched or don't get over confident & pack the order until you've been paid.

    The end, finito as Team CRO fondly states.

    But how common is it to cancel on a rise in price?
