I thought that i sold this item on Ebay, boy was i wrong. I knew there were scammers, but i didnt know they would go to such lengths.

The buyer had 5 feedback and all was positive, so i thought it was all cool, guess what? As soon as i sent the invoice i get the paypal fake emails saying that their trying to protect me, and that i have to ship the item then send paypal a copy of the shipment tracking #. Bullshit, im no dumbass, i got a notification, seemingly from paypal saying that the payment was recieved, but, o my, look here, no money in my paypal account. bullshit. Im not sending this whore anything, i dont care if the stupid twat leaves me negative feedback, until i have cold hard cash in my hands, im not sending bull.

Here is a copy of the email i got from "paypal":

Subject line: Investigation Into Recent Transaction: Case PP-304-718-247 (Respond by 09/05/2007)

Body:

Dear PayPal Customer,

One of the benefits of using PayPal is that we make every effort to alert you to potentially problematic transactions. Our goal is to help you make sound business decisions.

A review of recent transactions indicates that you entered into bidding agreement with Rebecca Sakrison(becka1021) by requesting money through PayPal, which shows that the PayPal account holder has authorized the payment you received.

We would like to learn more about this transaction. It is important we know the status of the item bought concerning the information we requested from you, otherwise, legal action may be taken against you since you have not replied to the confirmation of payment made to your account by Rebecca Sakrison(becka1021) over time.

However the buyer has already contacted us in order to make a report regarding your lack of response We are ensuring to make PayPal a safer place, therefore we need to set confidence on our users. We use proprietary technology to help ensure every transaction is safe. Take off the however.

We strongly advise you to ship the item and send the Scanned Receipt and the Tracking Number to prove postage of the item in 48 hours or less so that we can fund the money into your account or face the consequences of legal action.

Re: FS: Zen Vision:M, 30 Gig, Perfect Shape!

Would you be interested in trading it for a PSP with 2 games? Or are you only interested in cash? :-?

Re: FS: Zen Vision:M, 30 Gig, Perfect Shape!

It's in good shape, it has a clear faceplate on it that I got from www.decalgirl.com , looks really cool. I have the original Sony 1800mAh Li-ion battery and also a "Datel X2" 3600mAh Li-ion Polymer battery. A Sandisk 512MB "gaming" memory stick, it's really fast, I believe it's 150x. Also a NYKO UMD disk holder that holds three games. As far as games go, I have StarWars: Battle Front 2, which is really cool, awesome replay value, I also have SOCOM: Fire Team Bravo 2, which is online. The original 5volt charger was damaged, it fell about ten foot and it hasn't worked since, so I wired up made a simple USB charger

There are a couple of scratches on the screen, which is really the faceplate, I think a new one now days cost ~$10.

The only permanent damage on the unit is some scratches on the silver circle on the back of the unit.

EDIT: Please note that I live in a smoke free home, in case that's an issue ;)

Here are some pics:

Re: FS: Zen Vision:M, 30 Gig, Perfect Shape!

Hey, NOOB, I got one more question for ya', how is the battery on the unit? Does it still last as long as did when you got it?

BTW, are you still interested in trading for my PSP? Because let's just say SenKat has taken interest in my PSP and if you aren't interested, I'm going to get some cash out of him for it ;D

Hey,

Yes it definitly still lasts as long as when i got it. I only used it about 15 times.

I would say go ahead and sell your PSP to Senkat, the only reason i say that is because i really need to dough.

Thanks a ton for offering NES, that PSP is awesome!

Thanks!

P.S. Sorry it took me so long to respond!

No ! SenKat is short on cash ! SenKat is a cheapskate, too ! uhm...lessee here.....hmmmmm...oh, yeah - can anyone direct me to a place to do research on PSP's ? I am curious - as I saw a few going for OVER $1000 on Fleabay, and I wanna know WHY those ones (they looked just like the others, too !) were going for so damned much ???

Re: FS: Zen Vision:M, 30 Gig, Perfect Shape!

There's no reason for a psp to go for that much money. I have two of them and they both have custom firmwares. Ask me any questions you want about psp's I'll fill you in.

It would be awesome if Ebay charged them and paid the seller. :)

Sorry to tell you Greg but i dont think that will happen and with my age group growing up i can see it being more of a chance as kids my age are less disciplined than your age :(.
