Made a $1,450 first-sale.....twice apparently. i'm thinking solomon justice all the way..

Wow..Sold my first product to a girl in N.Carolina for $1450..Messaged her back and forth while we finalized the deal. Somehow,in a 3-5 min window, a gentleman outside Chicago snuck in, made an offer that I never saw, and paid me $1450 also. Unreal..Any Advice?

Rather puzzled about this. Did you have more than one item for sale? If a sale actually went through, funds were received then as a seller you need to ship the item to the buyer and recommend providing proof of shipment. Rather puzzling that a buyer would sent payment on an offer.

Personally, I would go with the person that contacted first…if the deal was final..if she was still thinking, I would go with the person who went ahead and purchased…

Thanks.. I thought it was rightfully hers because she was first AND I actually ‘transacted’ with her. Still haven’t heard from the other guy….Except when he put $1500 in my PayPal of course?!

I pretty much think the Chicago buyer has all rights to that purchase, but you have a back up buyer if his sell doesn’t follow thru.

Congratulations on such an incredible sale anyway !!

Thanks. The strange thing is I never got ANY message from him or Bonanza. The first time I knew he was even involved is when PayPal contacted me. I still haven’t heard from him and I sent him several emails and even gave him my phone number. Very Strange…

Is the transaction listed in your items sold..if not, I would contact Bonz…if you have not been notified..then something may not be right

Whomevers money went to paypal first , that’s your buyer.Too bad you don’t have 2 of those items![URL removed]

Congrats on your sale and many more to you!!

Check and make sure that the payment is really in your paypal account and that it is not a fake payment. One scam is to send an email to a seller that looks like a paypal payment has been made.
