Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

When searching for a pair of sneakers, I encountered this website : http://www.pelserved.com
Their prices were really interesting, a little too much, free shipping to all countries and I made the mistake of ordering. Lucky enough for me, I realized after Googling and doing some research that it was probably a scam. I went to my Paypal account and cancelled the transaction right away. Apparently, I should be safe, and my money hasn't been stolen, I hope so.

The reasons why I think it's a scam ?
There are mistakes on the website, parts of the categories are empty or have an automatically generated message that does not fit, the prices are too attractive to be true, free shipping over all countries, they only take Paypal payments and the logos on the bottom of the page are not linked.
The e-mail address to the Paypal account of the scammer was : [email protected]

PLEASE be careful, I am not a rookie, and yet I fell for this trap. Stay safe !
