Hi Nick I doubt they used bikehub. I advertised on a few platforms. Either way, i generally have no issues with PayPal. I've used it sell things before. People should just beware of okes trying to scam through PayPal.. especially when are trying to buy something 'internationally'. Using PayPal as such shouldn't be red flagged, its a valid transaction method but as with any method of transacting there is someone whom will exploit it. What they do is they want to 'arrange' the shipping and then pick up the parcel. They then re-route the parcel and let PayPal know that they never received the parcel. So PayPal would then contact one (i.e you look like the scammer). That's one approach they guys try to take. The IP address the scammer used, is supposedly used on a regular basis for all sorts of scam including PayPal scams. This scammer sent me an sms through a bulkmessaging service asking me to email him. That's a red flag, but i entertained it cause i figured the guy may be local. We conversed further via email from there on. I would attach a photo of his emails but i don't quite know how to do that.
