I don’t ever use any of those new goofy payment methods ever and never will. Cash only here or personal check. If they doesn’t like it I move on.

PayPal really sucks.


Maybe. But, there is a matter of trust and respect with a fellow ham. May not exist anymore. But, it's a shame.

The IRS won’t have any trouble with the 1099.  The 1099 will show the gross and you will have to prove the net.  Otherwise you will be taxed on the gross.

Not going to happen that way.

In theory YES.......In Practice NO 

Too much to police.

If you will notice PayPal stock has dropped by half in the last year. People will find a way around the IRS and PayPal no longer fits the bill. Problem is  people like me have likely never made a profit overall on anything, and I have 1000 eBay feedbacks, mostly chainsaw related as far as the sales. Rarely got my money back out of it and then you run the risk of some moron straight gassing it and starting a claim.

So, the IRS is going to start taxing the gross unless you can come up with documentation ??   
Good luck with that.

Bad weather? health problems? old age (like me!) for $50 this does not seem like a scam, just never use F and F unless it really is, 73

Over 15 years ago I sold an item, buyer said it didn't work-
Filed a claim... I lost the money AND the item(He never
shipped it back) (~$500.00)   In that case, I wish he used F&F..haha
I have not used Paypal since and never will.  In-person or
not at all--and cash.

Yeah, I sold a TS950SD to a guy. Shipped it UPS. Packed the same way that I have shipped heavy rigs and amplifiers.
Well, he said it arrived damaged and sent photos. The way it was damaged was simply impossible inside the box. So, I'm 99% sure that he dropped it unpacking it.  I told him to just keep it and I would credit him back the $600 or whatever it was. Well, PayPal/eBay doesn't have a policy for that. I literally had to get somebody on the phone, no small task, to get them to simply credit the guy without going through the return process. He ended up crediting me back half of it, which was pretty cool actually. Rig still worked. Still think he dropped it.

In one instance I offered to pay the PayPal fee and the seller never responded after that.  I had a bad feeling about him so I thought that may be a good way to "smoke him out".  Guess it worked.

I think it is safe to say at this point that Reinshagen is just a crook. Silence is deafening. Not sure what you do with a stolen $50 . Have fun with it I hope.

K2DGR is still a crook. Unless he is dead obviously. Otherwise, stay away or lose your money.

If you use Paypal F&F you deserve to lose your money. A fool and their money will soon part ways.

$50 doesn't make much difference to me other than the principle of the thing.  If it had been $5 I'd still be gnawing on him. If it had been $500 I certainly wouldn't have done friends and family.

It's not the 50 bucks that matters.  It's the fraud of paying for goods or services and screwing the payment processor out of their commission.

Fraud is Fraud.  For 50 bucks or 5000 bucks.

And if this guy scammed 50 people for 50 bucks... $PROFIT$

I'd say you should probably report him to paypal for initiating a fraud, but then you'd implicate yourself for being complicit...  And possibly lose your account too.
