mmmm this sound strange... I sold a couple of XXX LLLL, to him, no problems at all...did you try to contact him on his e mail address?

Today, I have my sale thread here ->http://www.namepros.com/domains-for-sale-make-offer/436016-33-llll-net-info-cvcv-vccv.html#post2570477

I sold domain to ebatcave and he paid me by paypal at $104 . Then after I finished pushing domain to his account. He files a chargeback from paypal to me.

I can't belive he is a scammer . I sold many domain to him and never has a problem. Maybe his account is stolen .But it is hardly believe that his account on paypal ,godaddy and here are all stolen. So I post this thread for warning you guys.

i am really sorry for this kong707

i strongly believe ebatcave's account was stolen as he is buying LLLL dot com, especially high value ones like quad premiums and i havent seen anything abouth he scamming anybody else, so why would he scam you for $104?

as Marco said email him or try to find any domain he owns and sen an email to the admin email asking him to reply this email you sent

index your names atgoogle as stolen after you find out what really happened
good luck

ebatcave 02-25-2008 06:52 AM

As I said in another thread, PayPal put a temporary hold on my account because they thought there was suspicious activity. I have purchased over $250,000 worth of domains using PayPal in the last month and they thought there was a problem with my account. They didn't open customer service until 4:00 AM PST so I contacted them as soon as they opened (since this all happened in the middle of the night) and they immediately released my account and the last 5 transactions I purchased last night. I have contacted each one individually to let them know everything is fine. I have my reputation to protect and I am more than aware of the scammers that are on the threads. Sorry about that, but PayPal shut me down for 8 hours. I'm back up again. John

-REECE- 02-25-2008 07:26 AM

Paypal did the same thing to my account about a month ago -- once again for "suspicious activity". John's a great guy and I've been lucky to have him purchase domains off me on multiple occasions.

bricio 02-25-2008 07:38 AM

this was better than having your account stolen but paypal is, undoubtely, the worst thing we have in the industry

what they did with both ebatcave and Reece shows they have no respect at all with all of us... they have in their TOS they dont want to know if you lose a domain (non-tangible item) and besides if they just think your account is in suspect activity they hold on it

we need ASAP to have a service covers domains and all its related products (internet stuff, i mean) and we must give paypal what they really deserve; nothing from us but ignoring them

i think we can make these things (scammers, non-tangible items) more known to non-domainers and we must really do our transactions through another online payment than paypal

-REECE- 02-25-2008 07:46 AM

Agreed Bricio.

I've been a client of Paypal's since 2004 and referred several hundred businesses to them via their affiliate program over the years (I won't do that anymore, even though the money was good...). My thanks for doing that come in the form of a suspended account and requiring me to take action if I want my account re-activated... To top it off, this is the second time it's happened in the last couple years... This time it was for too much buying, back in '06 it was for too much selling :td:

:yell: :yell: :yell:

putting $250K through their service, you think you would be getting serenaded to sleep at night from paypals upper management and awake to tasty P-shaped pancakes in the morn.... not the kind of door-in-your-face/ ask-questions-later customer service you received instead, john.

Makes me sad to hear it and how it could have almost tarnished your good standing on the forums etc, not to mention losing out on good purchases. glad you are back up and running! i have only had VERY positive, friendly and fair dealings with you, so if by chance paypal ever wants a 'less suspicious' paypal member to vouchsafe your character and credibility, i'm your man! :hehe: :)

kong707 02-25-2008 10:12 AM

I really do apologies for John. I got my money now. Thanks a lot.

I also sold domain to John for more than $1,000 .I didn't think he will scam me. But sometime account in vbulletin board might be hacked. My account at Digital Point was hacked a month ago also. So I put warning on this thread. I didn't mean to ruin your reputation. You are great guy.

EG.domains 02-25-2008 10:14 AM

kong707, you can edit your first post now (if you want). but i really recommend it.

John is a great buyer/investor/domainer.

$250,000 ? :eek:

God...I have a feeling on who is know the King of LLLL.com :love:

John, if I was you I was just quitting to use PayPal, they should have treated you like a Prince for using them so much.....and instead first they stop to provide the service. :td:

kong707 02-25-2008 03:00 PM

I know one guy on another forum . He used paypal to take subscription fee for his online service . It costs $30 /month. It is the first time he uses paypal .About 400 members subscribes to his service within 1 week and then paypal froze his account. It has been about 2 weeks now but his account is still frozen. Paypal doesn't care customers at all.

raredn.com 02-25-2008 07:00 PM

Check this, someone is getting sold a name in snapnames auction right now, before the auction is even over for $170.00, is that a scam or is that a scam

Will it protect me from scammers if I accept NP$ as payment?

Some suggestions:

1. In the Domain Services menu of NP, add "Send e-mail to whois address". This will take a domain name and a message to send to the domain owner. That way we can quickly check up the seller.

2. Provide an emergency system to inform the staff when you are locked out of your NP account by an account thief.

3. The forum apparently does not allow removing an old e-mail address, which is good. I assume that "Send e-mail to this member" sends the e-mail to both the old and the new one? (couldn't test because I seemingly disabled receiving e-mail from other members.) If not I suggest making it so.

Looks like most of the stolen domains are up for sale by hksteve here: http://209.85.207.104/search?q=cach...n&ct=clnk&cd=10
