That's where PP Invoicing comes into play.

An Invoice requires the "asker" of money to give a detailed description of that the money is for.

In this specific... the "seller" can just say the money that was received was for a night of
anil; and the buyer got what he was requesting

Ah well lesson learned....funny thing...I just got a text from him a few seconds ago. He is asking for my name and phone number. That doesnt make sense since he just texted to my number and he already has my name and address for shipping. Maybe paypal put a hold on the payment?

Now asking for my email addy....

Never use Zelle to buy or pay for anything, there is no recourse once the money is committed and there are a ton of ways to be scammed through it.....I don't know why Bank of America promotes it so hard.

If you find that "hard to find" part, next time offer to add the fees to paypal so they get their cut.

They get even money and you are protected.

Sorry they scammed you

Update: Looks like I was successful in stopping Pay Pal from making payment! This scammer is blowing up my phone with texts asking for payment. Even sent me a bogus tracking number to prove he sent items. Its almost worth the loss just being able to **** with this asshole....Ive been stringing him along and enjoying every minute of it. I wish I knew how to post his text to me....

Is there any chance the buyer is legit, and just lousy at communication?

Most phones have it built in just a combo of buttons. Use gallery to edit it and email to yourself if you post from a puter not your phone.
