Can he be flagged as a scammer?
Short answer yes it is possible, longer answer it actually happening depends... It's up to the mods... sometimes they'll try to contact the the guy first... if you've got pics, texts, pm's or other such evidence usually he'll be flagged pretty quickly.

Possibly. I really don't know. I'm assuming you've already to work it out with him first? I checked his profile and he doesn't seem to have any buy/sell records so that won't help. If you've already reached a dead end with him then yeah just document everything you can here: correspondence with him, purchase price and condition, received condition, repairs etc.

First off, how long ago did you buy this shock.? and, did you via paypal for services/goods. If you did buy within the last 3 months via paypal, then you can file a claim. IF you paid via paypal friends or family, you pretty much out of luck. What you will need to file a claim is documentation of what the seller stated the condition was, pic's always are a good thing. Next I would take the shock to a good bike shop, and have them verify the shock is damaged, ask them to write a repair order if you can. Then present the repair order to paypal. Keep in mind, you want to ask for a Full Refund, due the item was Not as described.. Good luck.

Very sus I messaged the guy wanted bank transfer. Photos of the frame on different add.

I don't get how the account has not been banned yet in all honesty. How many people will get done over before it's to late

Anybody else get an inbox from user Nelly505?

Got one for both my ads and it was a rather lovely offer of herself and all I had to do was follow her totally safe hyperlinks! Seen a couple posts pop up on Facebook groups already about it.

Sex bots on Pinkbike ads, what a time to be alive.

I got the same thing. PB deleted before I got a chance to see the mail. Only problem I have now is there's a hanging '1 unread message' in my inbox that won't go away, even though the email is gone...
