How much money were they offering? I definitely would have taken it, and then re-posted the same review a day later.
- sigfubar 8y agoI was just thinking the same thing. Street taught me that criminals can be victimized to no end because they won’t call the police no matter what.
- joering2 8y agoThey wouldnt call the police. They would simply open Paypal dispute and tell paypal that he agreed to remove his review for money and now he posted it again.
- ilovetux 8y agowhile that's true in a lot of cases, I'd be careful. calling the police is far from the only recourse available to people.
- InGodsName 8y agoI think PayPal will freeze your account if you do this.
- oh_sigh 8y agoHow exactly would they do that? Beyond Paypal just doing whatever they want whenever they want.
- bloopernova 8y agoThey were offering a refund of what I had paid. I really wasn't comfortable with giving them my paypal address.
- siruncledrew 8y agoI would take the refund too, but some other avenue than Paypal. For all the buyer knows, the seller could have been using a stolen Paypal account that would have been charged back via a dispute by the victim, and the buyer would be SOL. The seller could also refund the buyer and still open a dispute with Paypal to claim a chargeback. It's suspicious the seller strongly wants to avoid using Amazon for refunds. I'm not a crypto-fanatic, but I would have pushed the seller to send money to a crypto wallet address, and then I would have immediately withdrawn it to a bank account. Then still posted the bad review of the seller anyways.
