Today I checked Paypal, and it seems refund is done. Though I should check my bank also, but it seems all is OK. Plus got email from paypal about the money.

Did Atkra have to initiate the refund? I have to wait till the end of the month before I can do anything according to their site. Not sure how else to escalate it. Any tips guys?

I think you need to find another place to sell, I am not banning you for the sake of other members being able to contact, your thread has been moved to a private forum for mods.

Today my Bank shows the refund money. So for me, this case is done.

Where do I report a user that has tried to scam me?

PM Hink! He is a very friendly moderator here. You can find his info if you look few posts above ;)

You can also report private messages so a mod will have a look.

I did both, report the message and PM Hank already some hours ago, but unfortunately have not gotten any reply yet. That user is answering several WTB threads here and I hope the admins care about the issue soon enough before he is scamming someone else

Often moderator feedback can take days. But in the end the sinner receives his punishment (banned)
And there are ALWAYS scammers for WTB ads.

Tried to buy Ableton Live 11 Suite EDU from alex2000261. I paid via PayPal G&S on Thursday 1/27 but have not heard anything from hims since. He has not responded to my PMs, emails, or PayPal messages.

Just thought I would mention the situation here in case this may help others be on guard. Will update as I learn more.
