That's why I would only sell to Shmuli from Dan's sticky on the top of his homepage.  If Dan trusts hin that's good enough for me.

Its just an ad, Dan doesnt sell him...

I turn down a ton of ads. He seems very legit and I've yet to hear of anyone having any problems with him.

There should be a list of all trusted buyers, or maybe a poll and get everyone to rate the buyers they have dealt with in the past

Yes, let's make it super-easy for the airlines to round up every broker in one fell swoop.

What am i supposed to do?
Cash the check and let it bounce. He knew ahead of time he did not have the funds in the account to cover the check. That is fraud in many states. Have him arrested. Also list the company so no one else gets burned.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Buyer should be outed.
+1 (tachlis purpose)

He claims ticket prices are much less now and he's been paying too much for miles. 
Can you share details about how much he paid you, and what it was for? The experts here can tell you if he's truly 'overpaying'.

Yes, let's make it super-easy for the airlines to round up every broker in one fell swoop.
I don't think it's a good idea to help the airlines like that. Call me argumentative, but it's my position and I'm sticking to it.

Well it's simply not acceptable. This is meant to be a serious forum, and not a place for laitzanoos.

It was pretty obvious that line reeked of sarcasm.

Advertising for miles is very open

My opinion is:
Don't take any harsh measures before a month passes.
He can be struggling with a big overhead and a month can sort it out. Nobody goes outing purchasers who struggle to pay for a few weeks.
