Just wanted to send out a warning to sellers,
Do not do any business with a person named, "Malik Henry/Herman Neely/Trayvon Brown" on Grailed. This lowlife has tried to scam me twice with ridiculously made paypal "invoices"...
Addresses:
3405 Woodworth Place
60429
Hazel Crest, Illinois
17120 Central Park
60429
Hazel Crest, Illinois
This was on the bottom of the "official" paypal invoice :
"Please don't reply to this email. It'll just confuse the computer that sent it and you won't get a response."

Reading the last posts, it seems I'm in the right thread to ask this...
Some guy wants to buy a pair of boots I'm selling on Grailed, but he looks damn suspicious. apparently he's been banned from the site, tells me he cannot use the site to pay me (wants to deal directly via paypal), wants to have the most expensive fast shipping option to the US... and everything in a super poor monosyllabic english ("def want how much for overnight shipping" "k Kool ... cant by anymore on grailed cus i did o many off grailed sales thru pay pal", etc. )
don't want to come off as a super noob - which I am, kinda :p , but I'm asking because I have very limited experience as a seller on-line, so far I've been mostly a buyer, and I understand paypal protects a lot more buyers and sellers, and I obviously dont want to get scammed.
I don't know if I should post this guys email here yet... but he goes by the name "brick owens"...and is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
an advice?

You are most certainly protected with expensive courier shipping: it requires signature to get a parcel so he won't be able to pull a stunt like a lost parcel to you. Being paid through paypal directly is beneficial to YOU, not him actuall. Print a shipping label through paypal if possible, this is the best, make him note his address in the comments section or choose it when he is making the payment.
The WORST thing he can make is to refuse receiving a parcel and then open a paypal dispute: I highly doubt the case is decided in his favor then.

I would be careful, usually buyers who request expensive shipping services are shady. I had a potential buyer in ebay asking for overnight shipping from Europe to USA. The cost was like $200, which was more than the item's actual price. Take this into consideration....bombing the bass, blasting the beat

he claims he got banned because :
"I got kicked off grailed because I would go str8 thru pay pal opposed to going thru grailed and letting them get there lil fees outta my sales. That's why if u must insist on knowing"
I thought Grailed was a free service... at least that's what they claim on their webpage.

do we know how much is it that goes to grailed ?
what about the paypal fee then? is this an extra added fee ?
Edit: Just looked at my PayPal history and the only fees you encounter through using grailed is strictly grailed fees. Not the normal paypal fees. For example, I sold some shoes for $350 a couple of weeks ago and ended up with $339 and some change.

I'm assuming that's how Grailed makes profit as well, by holding onto your money to collect interest (same with Paypal) before paying Paypal back.
