Thanks for update!
*** SCAM PREVENTION TIPS ***
TIP #1:
ALWAYS check SCAMMERS GRAVE before sending money.
TIP #2:
High post count (1000+) is NO indicator of trustworthiness! The big exit scams tend to come from users with big post counts.
TIP #3:
Screen record entire "Autobuy" shop exchanges -> purchasing + testing the product. Record with a phone or camera if needed.
TIP #4:
"Don't pay SE'ers upfront, use a MM or pay on confirmation. If you do pay someone upfront, be prepared to take an L and possibly lose that money."
*** Conclusion ***
Be patient, take the extra time to protect yourself, and happy-safe trading to you all.
it should also not be a concern really as you usually have all the info of a person when doing a refund
also all Dama was doing with his Nvidia refund service was to make a paypal claim and abuse nvidia not responding to them
he even managed to get the official nvidia paypal account limited a few times due to the sheer number of refunds done

Oh I know that, I happened to be one of his "customers" (Thank God I got my refund before he scammed). I was actually referring to Nvidia SE exit scams in the past, quite a while ago. Haven't kept up with MPGH this year so I'm out of the loop in regards to the scams happening recently.

Not trying to gravedig but I have a question regarding the rule. What if a seller does not give you the option to pay upon confirmation, are they allowed to do that? Does this rule apply to threads created before the rule? Are there exceptions where this rule doesn’t apply?
Hopefully I’m not asking these questions in the wrong spot. If I am, I’m sorry in advance :/
BEST RULE CHANGE IMO

i know a long time refunder who asked for payment upfront.

There are some sellers said because I have no reputation I have to pay upfront, I told them the mpgh rules say the refunder has to do the service first and when successful refund has been made the client pays, can the admin of mpgh or rules enforcer tell me the truth on this?
I Read All Of My PM's & VM'sIf you need help with anything, just let me know.
