Make sure to try local pawn shops.

If he’s stupid enough to put it on Craigslist, he might also try pawning it.

Also check other forms of online sales.

Facebook marketplace, offer up, stuff like that.

I'm sorry to hear this OP.
I really hope he's found somehow via local pawnshops or cragislist. I hope he gets what he deserves and you get compensated.

Thank you for making this thread during tough times for you as well as everyone else, to hopefully help you but also to remind us of how cruel and disturbing some people are.

I dont know what should be done, report it, buy it then report that it was stolen from paypal. I will let more experienced people advise what to do
I think the listing was posted by the OP based on the description of the item.

OP best of luck getting it back.

Come on, cut the guy some slack.

One could also ask “how do you pay without getting the watch first?”

Thought he was dealing with a reputable trustworthy seller known by many whose identity was stolen by the perp.

I know this is of no help, but that is one of the nicest looking watches I’ve seen in quite a long time. I’m sorry to throw salt in the wound, but you really took fantastic care of that watch, and it shows. I’m terribly sorry to hear this happened, and I wish you the best of luck in a resolution that gets the watch back to you in the same condition it left.

With that said, I did a little googling of the name and was able to find a potential mugshot from a prior crime. I’m sure the authorities have already come across the same info I found (and probably much, much more), but just letting you know there’s potentially info out there on this scammer if it’s the same person as the pic. That should help in tracking the person down.

Everything you guys are doing is awesome. Every little bit counts including getting the info out. Thanks for everyone looking into this and your efforts. I feel violated as well with him abusing my reputation.
