I cannot reiterate enough that you should not be conducting transactions through discord alone. Even if you were mutual friends/bought from them in the past etc.
It may even be worth the effort to use a middleman service to avoid these types of issues. If they're scamming they either won't use a middleman service, or you'll get your funds returned when they don't follow through.

We're aware of this user. They've been removed from this community accordingly. There isn't anything else we're able to assist with in this matter.
 
Sadly there is people on both sides of that fence regarding scammers.

However, you're welcome to ask for F&F not be the method of transaction completion.

please ban ALL users from requesting F&F transactions on paypal so when there is a issue paypal can help resolve

Then the sellers would be easily scammed. This is not even remotely a valid request. Since this is a digital product, sellers would have literally zero protection from someone doing a charge back.
 
Agree with EcAnon...FnF is pretty much required for sellers, and sorry to say, but if you want an absolute guarantee with delivery of krono then going to DBG directly is the safest bet. Of course, their prices are almost double and their delivery times are much slower.
 
"I engaged in unsafe practices to get cheaper-than-market-rate Krono and traded with a user that had already been banned from ECTunnel for scamming. The rest of you should suffer consequences for my own choices."
That's you.

You realize with Goods and Services payments that we get your home address? Maybe trade with reputable people that haven't been banned from ECTunnel for pulling the exact scam that they pulled on you????

$54 is peanuts compared to the scams that buyers have pulled on me by using stolen PayPal accounts, so it does go both ways and there's inherent risk in RMT.
At some point personal responsibility comes into play. Don't try to socialize your mistakes.

Again, you can make it a condition of your purchase to only handle the transaction with goods and services, with cash only in person, or with pesos. The seller may decline to sell to you, but it's entirely an option. We're not forcing people to conduct the transactions in any sort of way. Due to the amount of sellers that were getting scammed by people contesting charges for various fraudulent reasons and having their payments reversed, the sellers themselves have chosen the F&F to avoid a chargeback after the transaction was complete.

There was an entire thread about the surestpath user, finding their ECTunnel username, and other relevant information we had available. With their username being removed from accessing the site. Again, I encourage you to utilize the site to conduct your transactions, had you done so you would have found that the user was banned/suspended from the site and (hopefully) wouldn't have conducted any business with them. The method of the transaction that you took part in isn't the important take away from your interaction with them today.

Could this have happened had you used the site? Yes, it's entirely possible. But, it's about risk mitigation and due diligence at this point.
Probably also worth mentioning that "Cold calling" is not allowed. This is when a seller contacts you to solicit their goods. If a seller wants to sell their products, they should list them and await a user to contact them via thread/direct message on the site. If someone is "cold calling" you, it should immediately set off red flags.
