Off Topic: Got ripped on the bay! Bought an sr5 that never arrived

That really sucks dude!

Regarding TNT's comments:
Technically, by using PayPal you are entering into a contract with them where you agree to their terms of use.

An outline of their buyer protection can be found at:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/we...ide#pbp-policy

Scroll to section: 13.3 PayPal Buyer Protection

I don't mean to take away from the suckiness of the situation at all. But stating PayPal/Ebay aren't doing their job is an invalid claim. The TOU/TOS you agree to is what you must/can hold them to. Their "job" is outlined in that document. "Ignorance" of a contract is not a defensible stance.

But anywho. Contact your credit card company to dispute the charges. Hopefully they can help.

Good luck

Sorry but that sucks man, ebay and paypal are evil, I am done with ebay closed my account to many issues both on the buyer and seller side and paypal well between ripping you off on their fees does not offer much protection, I had some ahole file a claim on a non ebmmmm item did not even get an email stating so, only found out when i went to transfer the money from a different sale, lost that money and they ruled in favor of the buyer even though I provided evidence that he was wrong, so in the future just buy new or deal on the forum, i hope you get everything back, sorry for the rant.

Paypal doesn't bump up their payment protection until a seller hits a feedback score of 50. I usually don't buy big ticket items (like EBMM's) unless the seller's feedback is that high, and they have the Paypal $2000 guarantee on the auction page.

Sorry about your situation, and I hope it gets worked out.
