This didn’t happen here but in cash he makes his way over at some point buyer beware. Again, this occurred through Instagram.

I bought a Mini Grip from him last week. At first he only wanted to communicate via text/call. Then he resigned to using messenger. After the first day I inquired about shipping, he said he would would get it shipped the next day, obviously a lie. With no meaningful communication about shipping for four (4) days and seeing he was ignoring my messages I filed a PayPal dispute I warned him before doing so, I gave him 24 hours. Low and behold he came out of the woodwork when PayPal locked up his account. He spouted multiple excuses after the dispute was filed, via email but never the same one twice. Then he tells me that PayPal gives him twenty (20) days to issue a refund and that he would be taking all twenty (20) days to do so because I filed a dispute and escalated it to a claim.

He’s a low life douchebag through and through. PayPal is fixing my problem. Always send payment using G&S, never F&F. This is a prime example of why.
 
Instagram just seems to be the magnet for the worst of the troublemakers.

No. Always send payment using G&S because those are the terms of service that you agreed to when you signed up for PP. :)

On another note, I am curious why you went to Instagram for a Rift purchase when they come up for sale here all the time.
 
I'm also curious why you decided to buy a mini grip off instagram instead of here.
Was the price that good??

Not a Rift. It was a Ritter Mini Grip M390 with Ti Wilkins scales. Those are a little tougher to come by. :)

See above. Yeah it was a good price. $135 shipped, no box or papers. Light signs of use and carry.

Also, I peruse Instagram, Reddit and FaceBook for cool stuff and deals. It’s funny that most guys stick to their own group. Like, the BladeForums guys don’t use the other three, and vice versa. When selling it gives me more opportunity to sell.

Whoops, my mistake. Hadn't had my coffee yet, lol. ;)

Well hopefully you will get your money back prior to that 20-day deadline. FWIW, he may want to push it out as far as possible, but I think his PP account will be locked until he does. He obviously needs a boost in maturity.
 
That sucks.
Not sure what the seller hoped to gain here.
Hope you get the cash back sap brother.
