Yeah I feel like if he actually cared about things being fair and honest he would of become upset when he saw this obvious scam taking place, which he more or less recognizes as such.

However all he does is attempt to confirm is that he won't be the party to lose money in this scam. He does it thinking well either he will get shop.com and win (at the cost of the owners of shop.com), or it will be a scam and he will get his money back from Paypal and Paypal may or may not get the money back from the seller, in which case either Paypal loses money or everything is back where it began.

He try's to find a no-lose position in someone else's scam, basically trying to scam a scammer. You know what I could respect that, but whining about how you failed to scam the scammer is just annoying.
