Firstly, I wouldn't be sending funds until the product was received. That said, would the purchase go through and would I receive the good if it were purchased via fraudulant funds? Essentially, would I be contacted by the company to send back the goods?

Almost never. Because the issuing bank essentially acts as a middle man once you have the merchandise they would almost never try to get it back. For basically the same reason they dont try to get it back when you default on your credit card payments.

If the amount of the purchase was big enough, however, you might get contacted by the police and have a whole mountain of trouble.

there are two potential fraud issues here:

1. A three-party fraud. Person A posts on 2p2 saying that hell buy person B something on his credit card for stars money. He buys person B a plasma TV or whatever, person B ships 1200 on stars. Unbeknownst to B, A has actually purchased the plasma with person C's credit card. Fast forward 3 weeks. Person C looks at his credit card statement, craps himself, then calls the CC company about the 1200 on his credit card that he doesnt recognize. CC comapny calls the merchant who charged the card and asks what was purchased and wehre it was shipped. CC company says to C, well that got shipped to Person B, at this address. Dont you know this person? No? Well, just fill out this affadavit of fraud and well remove the charge and get the police right on it.

2. A two-party fraud. Person A posts on 2p2 saying that hell buy person B something on his credit card for stars money. He buys person B a plasma TV or whatever, person B ships 1200 on stars. unbeknownst to B, A is a huge degen and desperate for money. Person A waits to get his money on stars, then calls his credit card company and says "oh, my. Someone charged $1200 to my credit card and I cant imagine what it was for"... CC comapny calls the merchant who charged the card and asks what was purchased and wehre it was shipped. CC company says to A, well that got shipped to Person B, at this address. Dont you know this person? No? Well, just fill out this affadavit of fraud and well remove the charge and get the police right on it.

interesting ^^

So would there be demand in the Xfer thread for someone to deposit money online (out of US) then xfer it to others, after taking some vig %age?

Would this go in the xfer thread or have a new thread or be allowed at all?

Seriously doesn't anyone just want to sell used video games for FTP anymore?

Its much more fun buying a plasma TV out of your bankroll after grinding for a month to buy it

It certainly goes on in the xfer thread. Normally, the vig goes the other way (people pay vig to get cash or equivalent for pokersite money), just becaus eof greater demand to move money that way.

fyp4me :-p

Just Jokes though

How does buying FTP points work? Let's say buyer interested in buy 300k Points, the seller orders the item from FTP Store and have it ship to buyer's address. Does the buy pay the seller when the order is delivered or when the order is placed? What if FTP cancels the order?

It depends on reputation, and such of the buyer/seller but mostly the buyer pays 1st, then the item is ordered. I do recommend finding a escrow for large $$ items, just safer.

We cant all be balla's, some of us grind

no u

FYI
we can feel much safer in the marketplace since we have a mod fighter
some guy in this thread open challenge mods on 2+2 and Gonso accepted.

He backed down ldo

no u

He wasn't serious in the first place. Are you kidding? How many people would fly to NJ from Canada in order to fight some random dude he's never met sight unseen, offering $5k to $1k? I figured there was a small chance he'd escrow a few hundred bucks on forum tilt though, but he's obv a bustotard so it was more a waste of my time. But I was already watching TV so eh
