MarkyMannn Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Virtually any time I do an Ebay / Paypal transaction, even with them now hiding user names, I get some BS e-mail's trying to scam me. Just ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I've been waiting for you to pay for the watch for 9 years now. I figured it was time to move on and offer it to the 2nd place bidder - Michael P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
