I've got perfect seller and buyer feedback on Ebay, almost 350 transactions. I've only been ripped off once and that was small potatos. Now I'm out $400 bucks and I'm waiting to see what ebay and paypal do about it. I saw that the seller had no feedback but I contacted them and they assured me that it was only because they were new to ebay. They were registered with PayPal and they said my purchase was covered. 20 days after payment all I have to show for my money is 4 emails saying:

1. I was sick so I couldn't ship your item till today.

2. Should be there any day now.

3. Item came back address misspelled.

4. It'll be there Thurs or Friday and I'll give 20% off your next purchase.

Never got a tracking number nor any goods. I checked, the guy has nothing else for sale, and the only feedback he has came from someone name Zach, same name as the guy who emailed me. I was gonna give em until Monday but said **** it these guys are a rip-off so I filed a complaint. Paypal doesn't even handle the complaints any more, they sent me back to ebay. I don't like this first development at all but I'll ride it out. I'll be really interested to see what PayPal is cracked up to be and if they're worth their 3% mark up on sales. I'll keep you all apprised as to how ebay and PayPal measure up.
