Help, anyone want's to make $20?

[frax]

OK, I bought some thingies of ebay and seller doesn't accept PayPal or direct transfer.

Money order is the only option left which would cost me about $20 and a few hours to/from the bank which I don't have.

 

So, if anyone in the US can buy and send the MO for me I will PayPal you the amount + $20, in advance of course

 

PM me if you can help...

I hate to say this but it sounds like a scam

[AtariJr]

yea thats what i was thinking... and even with the 20 bucks in advance its like, well is there something they are going to do with that money order that could link back to me? ... and you can wait for days to see a response on a forum and wait for us to ship it but you cant take a 5 min drive to a bank?..... yea, def sounds iffy...

[Nimtene]

Personally, I have no doubts about the

sincerity and best intentions of Frax.

 

Just because you live five minutes from

a bank, AtariJr, it doesn't mean everyone

does. As he clearly states, it would take

him HOURS to get to and from a bank.

It is clearly not convenient for him, so he

has asked for help. I see no fault in that.

 

I would help him in a heartbeat, and I

have offered, but due to circumstances

I don't care to discuss, I am unable to.

Well, I am not sure..seeing that you can buy Money Orders from almost any 7-11, Small Grocery Stores, Western Union Internet ect..so it is not that hard to buy one..

Have you ever been to Sweden? Do they even

have 7-11 there? And if they did, who's to say

there's even one near Frax? Point being, living

in the US, we come to take many aspects of our

life for granted. And we assume life is exactly

the same everywhere, for everyone. Without

knowing Frax personally, and where he lives,

we really can't know. To assume he has access

to all the same 'conveniences' as us, is crazy.

I might be wrong...never been there..but it still seems strange to me..what was the auction number?

[shirleysswapshop]

Why are you getting bent out of shape? If you feel so strongly about this..why can't you get a MO for him..?

 

 

However with all of the scams that are going on.. one never knows..If you don't know the person..is $20.00 worth the risk? Not to me it isn't!

I'm with Nimtene on this. I didn't think it was a scam when I read it.

Neither do I, however I don't know the person..so I am not about to take the chance..

[Atari-Jess]

This sounds just like one of the requests I've made in the past, and I certainly didn't scam anyone.

[shirleysswapshop]

Well..depending on the cost of the items.. if I can get a signed poster of the Swedish Bikini Modeling Team.. I might even just buy and ship for him..without the extra $20.00

You pretty much said you did, before you edited your post(s), that is. But oh well.

That's cool.

[frax]

Me, a scam? Nah, hell no.

C'mon been a menber since 2001 and was a member on the old Nexus site to. Done several trades with loads of people here and is on the recomended list.

 

Yes, I live in Sweden where banking opening hours sucks and international MOs are expensive.

Auction numbers are #8274983521 and 8274979421.

An my eBay is 100% positive.

 

Nimtene did offer to help but he's PayPal dosn't accept CCs.

 

Anyway, problem has probably been solved thanks to a welknown AA member.

I've been to other countries, and they don't have the same conveniences we do.

Try finding a 7-11 on the wrong street of Baharain, and you aren't coming back.

 

I've also had MO concerns with trading here, too. Some sellers don't have a way of cashing a non postal money order, and most USA money orders are not accpeted outside the States (postal being the exception, sometimes.).
