Might be getting scammed...

How long do you guys think i should wait for any form of communication from the seller before i do something about it???

Long enough to give them some time to respond but not too long that you might miss out on filing a claim (if payed by PayPal).

unfortunately i was stupid and paid with a gift... figuring he would be a good guy with some morals after seeing that he was in the military. so if it comes down to it, ill have to go directly to my bank.

Decided not to follow our suggestions on classified transactions I see

The only time I trust someone is if I've done multiple transactions with them before and/or know them in person. If they have a problem with the PayPal fee, pick it up yourself - 3% is really not that much with most of the purchases people on here make.

it wasnt a transaction on here... it was done else where. but i managed to get in contact with him, via phone after a few calls. the story is that he had to leave home that same dday.. hopefully it is all truue and his wife will be sending them out today

Even still, the rules we have in place could really be applied to anywhere. Hopefully things work out though.

Being in the military doesn't make someone a good person.

I knew a few shitbags while I was in.. everyone who has served knows of people like that.

It's also a common story that scammers use.

"I'm currently deployed but have this back home that I need to get rid of."

this was a facebook group... so it was seriously surprise me if someone took the time to fake a profile for him and his wife with hundreds of friends for a hundred bucks...

Very true.
