when i was 18ish i bought 2 laptops and tried to sell them for more, put the listing up sold the laptops got cheques for it all, one of it was US postal service ones and the other was like a bank cashiers check, so i send out the stuff and the next day or something Paypal decides to freeze my account (back then they did that just for shits n gigs) and wanted me to fax them all my stuff - and decided to freeze the ebay account with it. So this was on like a Thursday, that Friday I shipped everything out and I only know that because on Saturday some black dude shows up at my house saying he drove from New York and wants his money back. So I tell him what happened and told him to return the package and wrote him a cheque and told him I'd cash it when I got the laptop, he sent it back but not before scaring the shit out of my mom, calling the cops on me and all that fuss (because of him not having it literally 2 days after he won it) I had a perfect feedback (something liek 50 perfect).
The worst part was that the other payment, the US postal order, got reversed and I never got the computer back or anything. It cashed, and 10-15 days after it cashed all of a sudden the bank calls me and tells me sorry we had to reverse the payment and I got fucked there. Last time I ever sold something on eBay.
