Recently, I sold a CSGO skin to someone for $290. He said the payment was sent by card, I asked why it was pending and he said it was because it took time for it to go from his bank my PayPal account. I asked on a different forum if this was a scam and multiple people. I asked him to show my proof he sent the payment and he sent me a screenshot of him refreshing his PayPal page showing he had sent the money. Do you guys think I have been scammed?

It's a fucking question, I just asked if it was a scam or not.

a question better asked to paypal. even when everyone told you it was a scam, you still didn't believe it and came here to ask for some other opinion.

Let's imagine people here tell you it is not a scam, will you stop bitching about not getting your money?

I've already sent an email, I'm waiting for a response. I'm literally just here to see what other people think.

Did you send the product? If so, yes, you got scammed. If not...find a different buyer. File a complaint with Paypal. (Not that it will do you any good...Paypal ALWAYS sides with the buyer...even when they're just ripping you off)

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Does it taste like snake oil and kerosene?

Have to admit I don't know what a CSGO skin is and I looked it up and something for a game? Software?

CSGO is a game, skins are like a cosmetic item in the game that changes the appearance of the gun. Some are more rare making them worth more money etc.

Not a scam!!! I had wire money to that Nigerian prince and in return for helping him out, he gifted me his entire Nigerian royal treasury!!! Now I live on my own private island with my own mansion, jet, and yacht.
How could you guys waste such great opportunity???

Honestly, dude, get a fucking life. You have almost 70k messages, go outside and make some friends. Dickhead.

Says the one crying about a game skin he spent money opening crates to get.
