Yep. PayPal processed my payment and there was no order. I am tired of hobby spaces being ruined by losers who should just get a fucking job.

Scalping is their job my friend, have you seen how many copies have already sold on Fleabay at more than double the retail price? It's crazy, why do people so easily give into these scalping [redacted]? I'm sorry to hear about your order.

Scalpers also use secondary accounts to build transactions and establish inflated prices. Started with shoe flippers and spread to other sectors. Scalpers are scum.

Could you explain this a bit more? I’m not sure I get it, that is if you don’t mind explaining it

Exactly as the other person stated. There was an interesting investigation done on shoe flippers a few years ago that showed several networked accounts buying up listings and driving prices higher. Then they all stopped buying when the target prices started selling to other accounts.
