Well, so far eBay has terminated the seller's account. But you do know how easy it is for the seller to reopen a new account and continue selling on eBay. I mentioned to eBay in a satisfactory survey that there needs to be much tougher regulations on giving members the ability to sell on eBay. There should be regular checks to be sure that the seller is following eBay's policies, etc...

So what that they terminated the seller's account. This still doesn't give me back the money I am entitled to getting back. So far, I have found out that one person was issued a refund as of last night. So let's see if the rest of us (about 18 others) will get a refund as well!

Wow! Talk about being very lucky! So after following instructions from the seller to file a complaint with PayPal, today I just got notice that I am being refunded the full amount I paid for the item. It is currently pending. I should have the funds refunded to my account by no later than Wednesday.

This made my day & weekend! :)

Glad to hear that!

A learning lesson for anyone following this thread. ;)

Maybe KC, but what exactly have we learned?
To me it seems as I have learned that a seller with a splendid history and good reputation can be a crook, and that one might have such a luck to get money back, or you might not.
Congratulations SlickVic!

Glad to hear this Slickbuoy!

Interesting action by Pay Pal. Makes me feel better using them :D

What I thought too..:)


Very glad to hear the happy encoding SlickVic. :)

I never ever let my friends use my ebay account. That was PURE stupidness on his part to let someone do that. I have sold stuff for my friends, but I did it, not them. You are quite lucky to get your money back. Mind you if you pay by Credit Card they have fraud protection don't they?

Hey Flanderz,

I did not pay using a credit card through PayPal. I had used funds that were already within my account. I could have disputed the charge if I did pay using my credit card, as one way to protect myself, but that wasn't the case.

Anyways, I did in fact get my refund in full. It posted back into my account yesterday. I consider myself very lucky since you hear all these stories of people getting scammed and not being able to get their money back.
