Possible member marketplace fraud

Hello, I am suspecting a fraud with the item I purchased paid via paypal. Is there any admin or blacklist for the suspected fraud seller?

Update, he's a fraud, no tracking numbers, tried to impersonate another member who's trying to sell me Dinan sway bars, tried to offer me other goods, while forgetting/slipped that I was the one buying Dinan sway bars, and reoffered to sell the Dinan sway bars (My guess he is also scamming and messaging with other members at the same time, that's why he slipped up and reoffered the sway bars).

Obviously I don't need to post how many times I asked for the tracking numbers. There's his id, phone number, email , PayPal account (which I believe is fake), now his id is banned

If you paid using PayPal for product, you can always get refund and return item.

Not if you send the payment as family and friends, which is a mistake on my part, they won't do the refund.

That sucks man, hopefully it does work out. This is why I always use PayPal's commercial transaction. I will happily pay the fee to know that I won't get scammed.

Any stranger selling goods and asking you to use this option is a MASSIVE red flag. I wouldn't even continue the conversation at that point. At the very least, reject that suggestion. If the seller balks at all, he's just confirmed that he's a fraud.

Sorry to hear this happened to yet another forum member. I have started a list of people who are scammers and aren't banned yet. I'm thinking about starting a whole new post so new members can scan through it with tips on what to look out for.

Some of these things you would think are common sense, but these thieves pray on emotion and can be very manipulative.
