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.

JJ hate to say it but that's why you shouldn't send Money Orders and use only paypal.

Speaking of paypal, I ALMOST got ripped there for $1100. I was looking in my personal email and saw a paypal email saying, "Your payment has been sent." So I'm thinking what payment? Log in to paypal and see two instances of $550. Then I remembered the last time I tried to log into eBay, I could not pass authentication due to bad password?? I never change my eBay password. Come to find out somebody hacked my eBay account, changed my password and set up shop selling bogus goods. I have no idea how but they were able to get into my account via paypal and ALMOST swiped $1100. Luckily I saw the email and took swift action with my bank which allowed me to put a block on any amount of $550. Cost me $30 to put the block on but it worked. The bank said the transaction tried to go through but the block put the brakes on it. Crazy stuff. Since then I have started using stronger passwords with eBay and paypal.

People that will rip off another person tick me off. Not Ebay but years back a guy got me for $500.00 for some advertising that was never done. I tried to track the company down along with a few other people without any luck. I keep that cashed check in my desk as a reminder.

so the procedure is you file a claim with paypal and they contact the seller and give them 10 days to respond which was yesterday the 14th
got this email today. All sounds great until I read the last paragraph....assuming the guy was ripping off 40 people in one shot I doubt he left the money in his paypal account.....we'll see. We have concluded our investigation into your case and have decided in your favor. We were able to recover $94.50 USD and this amount has been credited to you. Please allow five business days for this adjustment to be posted. If you are due any additional funds, we will make our best effort to recover the balance from the seller. If the seller's account has insufficient funds to complete the refund owed to you, please be assured that we will take appropriate action against the seller's account, which may include limitation of the seller's account privileges.
