I wanted to strangle the guy but hes in cyber space.... But it was a valuable lesson I know he'll never forget. it sucks real bad............but they'll get what coming to them ...what comes around goes around

At least you have Paypal to fix it for you. They got me a few years ago for like $40 but it still pisses me off.
If I ever go to Ohio, I'm gonna look up that SOB.

we used to use the whoopass range buying method, never buy something from some one that lives farther away than you are willing to drive to whoopass if it isn't right.

I lost money on EB too;
First a $50 money order. The seller sent it to the "wrong" address, I tracked the item ti`ll it was returned to him ( I paid the shipping ), and the seller never answered me again. Later he was catched doing the wrong address trick and got fired out of e-b. I`m sure he`s back with a new "name", but I lost my 50 greens. Second, another M.O. for $20, for a toy, never got an answer or the item. Third and last, NO MORE EB FOR ME EVER AGAIN !!!

Sucks you had to go through that, glad to hear your getting the $ back. Got to forward this to my wife. She has recently been bitten by the ebay bug lately, always scares me (ebay not the wife, well maybe the wife too.)

Sorry RW....I got it times 2....
1 - selling my old boat. I put it up with "buy it now" and Mr. ripoff hits the button. The guy had a negative 4 rating....cost me $45 or so in fees....can't remember but it seems like eBay reimbursed me? I won't do buy it now any more and specify in writing that bidders with negatives will have their bids cancelled. I have cancelled suspicious bids since then. 2 - I bought a squid daisy chain from a reputable seller and waited. And waited. Emailed. Waited. Emailed. Waited. Started to notice negatives showing up on his profile where people payed and did not receive - just like me. Called him and he says he's sorry and he's gonna send 2 of the chains for my trouble.....never did. Cost me around $30.
