this guy scammed me. asked for payment as friends and family which carries zero PayPal protection which PayPal doesn't tell you until you are scammed.
stopped responding once he received payment.

ahhhhh that's awful 
guys...with all due respect, bit of common sense though.
general rule of thumb when buying off a forum (high value item) at least ask them to write your username and the date on a piece of paper against the item to at least verify it's legit, esp if they're asking for a gift payment.
i know that's probably not what you want to hear right now and i don't mean to sound horrible, but i'm just saying for the benefit of anybody else in future. i feel pissed for you bro

Everyone needs to be very cautious when purchasing items via the classified section. Here's a red flag checklist that may help you when you're looking to purchase something.
1)Pay close attention to the sellers join date.
2)Look at the # of posts and replies.
3)Ask for numerous pics of the item in question.
4)Google search images of the item. Scammers will send you the most common images.
5)Ask the seller numerous questions about the item. Most scammers won't know how to answer and move on to the next victim.
6)Make up bogus parts and ask the seller if they have these items. They will almost always say yes to parts that don't even exist.
7)NEVER EVER pay the seller by Moneygram or via PayPal GIFTING.

will add this also....
paypal only charges what, 2.9% say max of 3%, many members will say to "cover" paypal fees to save as much as they can on their side, but to "gift" or "friends and family" all that's being saved is that amount. whenever someone asked to send it as "gift" or "friends and family", I just say I can add paypal fees onto the total amount and send money the "regular" way. I agree paypal should be more informative about "gifting" money. there should be a WARNING that states: YOU HAVE NO RECOURSE IF YOU WANT YOUR MONEY BACK!, right before you send the money that way!! sorry to hear that happened and I know you want to F somebody up but I will agree with the above mentioned posts: NEVER GIFT ANYTHING TO ANYBODY UNLESS ITS YOUR WIFE/BROTHER/SON on paypal!!! very sorry to hear this!

yeah i only started using that because paypal removed the "I will pay the fee" setting. things like this are no wonder why eBay and PayPal have split. sucks because i've purchased other items on the forums similarly...but i should go back to the key rules of online purchases as i used to do.
