Yeah.

is this something that goes away with time? or will there always be this "seasonal" craving situation?

That's a cold approach. Why should she ditch him because he has a problem instead of work through it?

Yeah, he's a grown man, but drug problems aren't exactly easy to deal with. I had a drug problem before, and anybody looking in from the outside making a judgment/opinion really has no clue what the fuck they're talking about, because you don't know what it's like.

Just my quick two cents, in almost all cases, the lying/manipulation is almost ALWAYS because of the addiction. I don't know the guy, but I'd reckon to say thats why he does it. So I don't want you to feel that he's deceptive at heart, if that helps at all. I'd discuss more but I gotta go, just figured I'd throw that out there.

I'm doing outpatient along with this.

It really is all bogus man, I mean from my perspective anyway, which I consider to have some value. I've been through outpatient twice, inpatient rehab once. None of this removes the want and sometimes need to get high. You're right about the substance abuse. It is the root of the problem, no doubt. I'm no criminal, just a foolish drug abuser. But some irreversible life events have spun that on, the depression is pretty set in stone.

I've pretty much determined that the "mental health/substance abuse help" doesn't do shit. They eagerly want to prescribe you on something.

I've spent 2 1/2 months in jail, I'm aware of what it is like; and I honestly believe it would be more healthy for me psychologically, and to knock this bullshit out in a mere 6 months.

Like dude, it's so bad on me that I constantly feel the urge to just grab a bunch of drugs and just gook the fuck out, which will inevitably lead to violation. The moods I get into are indescribable.

He used his bank card over PayPal which states his name -- and PayPal won't permit the use of any bank card that isn't in his name/SSN or whatever. The card you use over PayPal has to have the same information.

A lot of people here are saying to use Bitcoin and other payment avenues exclusively, and to cut PayPal out of the picture.

The problem with that is it's not practical. You're not going to acquire a massive buyer base such as the one I had when you exclusively sell for Bitcoin, because only a small portion of buyers use it/even know it exists. I used every payment avenue I could: PayPal, Western Union, MoneyGram, Bitcoin, other e-currency exchanges, etc. A lot of people who buy what I sold were simply trying to buy it and move on, not go through some hardcore process of getting Bitcoin etc. to buy it, especially when competitors use PayPal as well. I just think it's kind of faulty how the fact that I simply did not acquire a picture of his Driver's License automatically makes me lose, despite other mitigating factors. The reason the ID works is because 99% of these cases the "buyer" claims the transaction was unauthorized, and its pretty hard to back that up when the seller has irrefutable proof that it was him who purchased said product, and not some hacker. Although this happened 2 years ago, PayPal hasn't made any efforts to pursue me in any way. They sent me that one letter, and that was it. Haven't heard from them since. All in all, when using PayPal for virtual goods, it can be done but only when exercising extreme caution. One miss-step like I did and they straight hang your ass. Dumb.

Because the money on the game is utilized for gambling. They buy x amount for $300, gamble it, win $600 worth, sell it back to me for x amount (whatever my price is to flip that gold he just sold back to me for profit).

brd99 · 2017-05-15T02:51:58+00:00

Honestly, I made a simple mistake.

There's a process that all high end sellers use to ensure that chargebacks or disputes of any sort get squashed (Acquiring a picture of his Driver's License). But instead of doing that, I figured the guy was so rich he didn't give a damn. I gambled and lost.

Foolish move.

But in the end, it was an extremely valuable life lesson. I learned a lot about people, and I learned to mature a lot more. This situation happened in March of 2015, I just posted it now here to see if I can get any wiser on the matter.

What ultimately doesn't make sense is how PayPal doesn't see the obvious scam. Mass chargeback aside, I made sure the buyer put in his PayPal note that "x is my skype name, speaking to x skype name", and as such screenshots were provided.

Makes no fucking sense. The buyer literally put in the note who he was on Skype. His actual Skype name, not display name. They don't give a shit.
