I always throw 3% on top for everyone as a standard. Usually I low-balled the guy in the first place, so paying the fee is just my way of cupping the balls.Leave a comment:

Seriously, the friends and family button on paypal is for just that; friends and family.Leave a comment:

I won't actually do it, but everyone needs to imagine it in underlined, highlighted, 96 point bold text.Leave a comment:

BTW if you check his Photobucket album, hi nickname is biker50610. and if you do a search for "biker50610" on the interwebz, you will see he's in so many places selling his parts. Perhaps you can share your experience... ;-)
Per exemple. He seems active selling stuff on Bimmerforums, where it hurts to have a bad rep... ;-)

OP will still get his parts, yet with extra cost in money and time. It sure sucks, but out of a bad situation, let's try to see a positive outcome.
Everyone here will have learned a lesson. Paypal or bust. And if a seller insists on being sent money as a gift to save the fee, then don't hesitate to suggest you'll pay the extra 3%. It is cheap insurance.
As for that B Randon dude. It is too bad for him. For not aknowledging his mistake and trying to save $20 or $30 in gas money to be refunded, he won't sell anymore on this forum. His lost is greater than the OP's.
Now, look out for new members parting cars under new names and required Google Wallet. It could be B Randon. ;-)Leave a comment:

The dude parts a bunch of cars and finds a lot of great deals, but my interactions with him pretty much mirror the rest. He will do things his way and no other and will not budge on anything. I highly doubt you'll see any type of refund, but I do believe you will receive what was advertised.This was maybe my first time dealing with Google Wallet (I think I used it once before for non- car related stuff) ... so its definitely a no-go going forward.
At the same time this was going on I sent a Paypal "gift" to a rennlist member for some wheels, sight unseen and have zero qualms about it. I got some 16x6 & 16x8 D90s for $200 with tires! of course I havent picked those up yet either, but I am less skeptical about that deal than this one.
I dont feel cheated because he still sent the fenders, I just want him to say, "I waffled up, my bad, heres some gas money for the trouble." Seems like an easy mistake to fixLeave a comment:
