I used my moms paypal account, she knew about it, I had to ask her permission/tell her what I was doing and she would say sure. Never been scammed, never made a bad deal. | |

Also how is age gonna be verified anyways, because the "punk kids" your talking about would be the ones who would/could easily fake their age online, even in credit card verification, you get your parents card type the few numbers in, and bang your an adult. that simple. It is near impossible to prove age over the Internet. If you can figure out a way then maybe your wish may come true but till then your sol.

Either way, they obviously didn't teach you to keep your mouth shut and not question how somebody else raises their own children! I think you just proved your just an ass that has nothing better to do than to argue with kids about how they should be older to be making deals, and to state how there parents raised them. Dumbass.. | |

By the way, back on subject, the punk kid that motivated me to start this thread still hasn't shipped the stuff that I paid for 17 days ago. If I had known that he was 14, I would not have sent him money. | |

| Oh, yeah. I have a thread over in the feedback section. He doesn't seem to care, though. The sad thing is that it's not a high dollar item. He's just been a little, punk douchebag with his attitude. He's acted like it's no big deal. I can't prove that he's lied to me, but he's promised to ship 3 seperate times and once claimed that he had the address wrong and it was sitting in a Post Office in another town, but if I gave him my address again (even though he could have just checked paypal) that he'd contact them and get it re-shipped. Yeah. Right. He's a lying little douche, and I'm going to do my best to make sure nobody ever deals with him again. |

I do however think that you raise a valid point in that traders have a right to know if they are dealing with a minor. I've been trading on forums since I was around 12 years old, but I also had the full consent and support of my parents ... something that isn't guaranteed. Issues include having transportation, access to funding and general maturity issues. Anyway, good thread and X2 ... | |

I've seen at least one web forum (Airsoft Canada, when I was into that stuff) that actually have certain members considered age verifiers. If you want to be active in the forum, you have to meet up with one of these people, and your age is listed right under your screen name. I personally don't know if I agree with it or not. It keeps the adults safe in sales, but seems like it could cause some safety issues for kids having their information public. It is easy for a reasonably smart person (usually with bad intentions) to find anything they want from just a screen name. My city and gender is about the only thing I'll make public, anything else stays in private messages or emails. This is not because of my age, just a general privacy/security thing. And from the other side, I don't want to get ripped off by anyone, minor or not. Stuck up minors with ignorant parents are about the worst group, but (legality aside) that has nothing to do with age. I've had tons of internet deals, and only one real issue. The only thing I do is a general overview of the seller's posts just to make sure that they are at least a reasonably competent individual. Spelling, grammar, a thorough description, and decent pictures of the item go a heck of a long way. |

Unfortunately, I dont have any contacts in New Mexico. I'm really not out enough money to cash in a favor like that anyway. It's just my goal at this point to ruin the little punk on the forums. | |

After a threat through a PM here and through Paypal, he finally got back to me again. This time, he claims that it will be delivered tomorrow via Fedex. It's kind of funny that last week, it was sitting in the Post Office in another town. Now it's getting FedEx'ed. He also said that he had no tracking number or receipt to prove that it had been shipped, but his mother was able to call FedEx and they assured her it would ship tomorrow. He claims that his mother could call them and they could do that, but that she couldn't get a tracking number??? There's more holes in his stories that a block of Swiss Cheese. I just hope he's telling the truth so I can put this to rest...but I doubt it. Oh, and not once through this whole deal has he ever apologized for it taking so long. He just gives his excuse and claims it's shipped. What a disrespectful little piece of crap. |
