    A guy I work with buys and sells alot on Ebay and he said he's always gotten his money back on bad deals. Usually from the seller, for something broken when he received it. You get scammers trying to beat the system. They send you something that they know is broken and then try to put in an insurance claim with the shipper.
    Just glad everything worked out for you. I got scammed last winter for $150 and it was my own fault. I let my guard down and ignored the red flags and bam. When a deal is too good to be true, it usually is.

I've had to file disputes several times and PayPal came through every time.

    On another issue, my minimum for the seller is 50 positives before I'll buy anything that costs more than a few bucks. That site has been around long enough that there's really no excuse in my book for being new. I'll let someone else have the great deal.
    I won two items on Ebay. One guy promptly sent a tracking number. The other person never returned an email even thought I emailed several times. I got both items deliver two days apart. I never understood why the one person never answered an email.

    I posted my Audio Note DAC on Craigslist last month and got one of those scammer emails where they want to send you the money and have their "mover" pick up the unit. When I replied I told the idiot he sounded like a scammer, he still replied back. It's so funny, they don't even know what they are buying and the replies are so stupid. So I went on line and found the address of our local FBI field office and an agent's name. I sent the reply back giving this info and even the FBI phone number as my own. He wrote back and told me the check was UPS'd. I got one other email asking if I got the check yet and I told him not yet. Oddly, I haven't heard anything since I wonder if he tried to call and figured it out or if maybe some one who can read English read my original email to him.

    Some on eBay are high-volume sellers who might be ignoring non-critical emails to save time.

    Well....

    All I know is that whatever the guy was trying to pull didn't work. The only thing I can think of was that he was hoping I'd let 45 days or more pass before crying rape Or perhaps he just deposits the money for the interest, I don't know. The only way for this scam to really work is to NOT involve PayPal, which he did. Strange. The only thing I know is that the AR Posse rides, hard, shoot's straight and brings justice swift and sure!!!!

    Glad it worked out for you Worf. I had heard that PayPal was less than ideal. Maybe I'll give them a chance now. Thanks for your story with the happy ending.

    Consider yourself lucky that you're not dealing with UPS. I sent an item that arrived, not just damaged, but destroyed beyond recognition (the recipient sent me a foto before he refused it). That UPS actually proceeded to deliver it is beyond belief, but it gets better. I filed a claim, got my money back and I sent the guy a second identical item for his trouble. They attempted to deliver only twice, to the wrong address (the recipient never saw them), and are now returning it to me, supposedly at "my expense."

    Yes, I will be filing another claim for the shipping and the packing materials, and it better arrive back here in good shape.
