who is "Zionzy" selling a 2020 switchblade with bar for $750.
contacted the guy saying ide purchase with secure payment but of course no reply.

Don't you have to pay to upload photos? And what's wrong with posting on multiple platforms?

Yeah gotta be a scam,
no one would pay that much for a cabrinha.

Joined up to sell it. Still don't see the issue -- pretty tough settling used gear these days -- but I agree I'd want a secure payment option.

Does anyone actually ship from the US though? All but a couple of times I've tried to buy used from the US they've informed me that I'm "too far away". Bitch, you go to the Post office regardless of if it's the next state or the other side of the world.

Hey All,

We shut this down on the weekend, and another one too .. possibly same person. It's rare, been some time since we've had a scammer.

@gdownie, @cbulota - really appreciate your help on flushing this person out. Can I ask a favour? If you're able to email us, we welcome the info, and can deal with these people much faster. i.e. we check for support mails more than we check individual forums for posts about scammers!

Thanks

Seabreeze...there needs to be a link for ID to a licensee or visa etc card as backup. As fare as contacting you guys go i did try that once with guy who had sold item but left add on seabreeze of kept re posting it. Spoke with him on phone and he said he liked people calling him so he could say it was sold and chat.. 2nd time i contacted seabreeze they removed add when he didnt answer phone.
More security please.!!!

I agree. As Kamikuza mentioned, Ads with pictures need to be paid for. I'm willing to bet that all scammers are using VPN's and stolen credit cards to make this purchase otherwise they would reveal their real identity.

@Seabreeze Do you use 3D secure in your checkout process ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-D_Secure

Since we installed this feature on our two e-commerce websites, we have had zero frauds
