$2000 worth! Its been 5 days and he hasnt responded to any of my emails.(furious beyond f*king belief!) Did you transfer the money from a credit card to your PayPal account. If so inform the credit card company. They will refund you the full amount and will then chase the refund themselves. PayPal should refund the money although they're buyer protection which relates to ebay is only upto £500.£100 is covered by the credit catd anti fraud insurance scheme. Ed£2000 by paypal to the states! You are more trusting than me.Get on to paypal and see what they can do.Not much I expect but worth a try. Lets hope the person in the states has just been away or is having trouble with their computer.Have you got confirmation that the mails have been read? I do hope you get a result these sort of people really p*ss me off.crazylegs wrote:You sent

"its been shipped today sir!!"or the prices are more than you expect, and the prices of shipping are sky high.And a lot of the stuff is inferior- are you sure they can do anything? This wasnt an Ebay purchase so I dont apply for the $500 limit of refunds. IIRC if its a transfer that isnt related to ebay then coverage is unlimted?! I am waiting on a response from Paypal concerning this. I have his address and that all checked out so i dont think he has anything to hide. I have his name and after some surfing that is his name and he lives where he says he does and he has the parts he is selling and he even uses the same log on for all the sites he visits. $2000 I am allowed to get narked if the chump cant email me. If he had a UK address then I would have already visited him if you know what I mean. 
Maybe I should look up flights to the US - do a spot of debt recovery whilst I am there!

£100. It might differ between credit cards but call them first. PayPal are useless if the money has already left the other persons account whereas the credit card conmpany can recover the money no matter where it has been transferred to. Edsteve b wrote:

The mods then get involved on that site. Dave Hawkins the mod of that forum does a good job 
- they're not big and they're not clever! He has suddenly emailed me. Turns out the daft prat was sunning himself on a short holiday! 
Nice of him to let me know, I expect the money I sent him paid for it! Thanks for the suggestion Ed!- Fingers crossed!$145 with USPS. However it looks like they kicked it all the way from california to me - they're not big and they're not clever!
