What to do if you get ripped off on eBay?

Fleabay hehehe

I had an online fraud experience, but it was through Stangnet. What was sad is that me and this CREEP orginally started talking through AIM about some parts,and didn't end up doing the deal, and chatted off and on for months. When I finally paid him $400 for a GT40 and 70 mm TB, the parts never showed up. I repeatedly IMed him, and the little louse thoight he could just jerk me around saying that he was sending them out, telling me his friends would come to MY house in VA from OK, more kiddie stuff etc. I suppose he thought I wouldn't do anything about it. Well, I did.

First, I reported him to Paypal, and they immediately CLOSED his account, and once he could furnish NO proof of shipping, they attempted to refund my money....too bad the loser had withdrawn it pretty darn quickly...wonder why

GET THIS: he then had the unmitigated GALL to send ME a request for the money, saying he had sent the parts...man I'm getting burned up just typing this...so by now I've gotten $20 back...

I ended up getting all the Paypal info and reported him to my credit card company..presto 3 weeks later I've got all my money back, and I'm sure they are going to want their $400 from somewhere...my father says they will most likely sue him for the amount. I IMed him under one of my many gag names, and thanked him for the pleasure of doing business with him, and that I hoped he enjoyed recieving nasty calls from Verizon Visa...and all the waste of space said was "huh?" YEAH I GOT YOUR "HUH?" RIGHT HERE BUDDY

Anyways, the moral of this lengthy story is when unsure, USE YOUR CREDIT CARD!!! If you are cheated, you are usually responsible for nothing...sometimes $50
