When Ebay goes wrong ......

...... boy does it go arseways, I bought from this guy before a couple of times and there was never any problems but now look, maybe there's a simple explanation for what has happened, he could be dead (can happen, one of us could dissapear from here and people wouldn't know why..) this really looks bad though and may I say that I'm owed a CD too from him but I only sent a mail yesterday (auction was on the 15th of Jan) so there's a possible another $50+ on to the totals.

I always though it could happen, but I never envisaged seeing it, but that's life.

Damn, that sucks. I bought from him before though, never had any problems. In addition it shows how bad eBay's security for buyer's is.

Ruthless! Haha.

Looks like that guy made a decent amount of money if he did run off with it all.

Savage altogether, include $60+ from me when you postage costs,

Can people in the US do anything about this ? cops/fraud etc .. ?

Did you use PayPal?

Only if you use paypal, but it takes around 45 days for the claim to go through and the money to get returned. You would think as long as eBay has been around though, they would have more protection for buyers who get stiffed. Or at least a faster process

Yea I used Paypal but I haven't filed a dispute yet, I only mailed him yesterday and i'll give a couple of days to reply then I'll open a dispute, but that will hardly work anyway if the seller has cleaned out the money from their paypal account as all paypal then say is we will withdraw the funds once they become available in the account, like that will ever happen again.
