buyer got irate that I was checking to confirm his ID.

Just refunded him instead. not worth it.

appreciate it, but can anyone vouch for real...

would be nice to get some confirmation on why he provides one name via PM and a completely different name on the paypal...

As a guy with 2 names myself, I can understand the confusion it can cause but also took care to make sure all IDs and online stuff goes through 1 name.

He has a decent amount of feedback for previous transactions on Pinside so hoping someone can confirm to me his 2 names.

Anyone that flips his head when someone just wants to verify who they are is not worth dealing with.

Here is my reply in the other thread where he called me a racist.

not even remotely the case.

Doomid messaged with the name Shane in his Pinside PM says "txt me, ill take it."
I text him and his reply after saying he will take it on Pinside, is that he is offering $600.
I kindly reply that I am not interested in the offer.
He comes back multiple times and I agree on a price near asking with the understanding that he will pay right now (his offer as part of the deal) and i am giving him a break as he has to ship.

He then sent Paypal payment which came through with a completely different name and no mention of Shane anywhere in it.

I asked what gives with the 2 totally different names.
For some reason when I asked about the dual names his only reply was to 'chillax bro, it's me', tells me he owns Ayce Gogi and then call me racist.

I asked him to give me a minute to verify his identity before handing out my address to him for pickup. (sorry but it is sketchy when 1. the guy says he will "take it" then renegotiates price right away, 2. PMs via Pinside but then wants to do all communication via text, 3. paypals from what appears to be a totally different persons account based on the new name on it). My radar went off understandably as I have no idea whom this guy is and there are some red flags.

All I wanted was a few minutes to confirm he is the same person.

He flipped shit and requested a refund.

I refunded his money because he asked for it and honestly it is not worth the hassle. Glad I dodged the bullet here TBT. Anyone that flips shit and calls a person racist for verifying why they are using 2 separate names to communicate and pay is worth avoiding...

After I refunded him then he flips shit even more with silly text messages to goad and berate me which I just ignored.

After I refunded him, he sends me a photo of his ID and tells me he goes by a nickname based on his middle name. I am not sure why he did not simply do that when I asked what was up with having 2 names...

yeah, I honestly did not think it was a big issue and just asked for a little time while I verify his creds before giving him my address.

I have heard of people pulling all sorts of crazy ass scams so I did not figure it was much to ask for a few minutes while I made a thread to verify his 2 names are 1 person.

I was actually suspicions that someone had hacked his pinside account, hence why funneling all communication via text instead of pinside. Then the totally different name came through and I thought maybe the scam was using a hacked paypal account which results in a chargeback after the game ships out. I dont really think it should be a big deal to verify someone is real.

Once he called me a racist I was done with it and happy to refund his paypal.

Yeah, I was not asking for his ID and any supplemental credentials from him.

I was asking for a few minutes to confirm on here that Shane = Abbas

Just wanted to know that they were 1 person and nobody had been hacked or was trying to work some sort of scam.
I started the thread and he flipped his head over it and called me racist.
