Ok I know I have been stupid and fallen into this guys trap but heres what happened. I won a laptop on ebay (Dell XPS M1730 for £500). I paid for it instantly on ebay. The guy then phoned me and explained that he would not send the laptop to me until the money had cleared from Paypal (to do this you need to leave positive feedback - so I did). It has been 2 weeks, I kept sending him messages asking for tracking info but he wouldnt give it to me he always "read it himself" ,I have no laptop and he has deleted his ebay account and switched off his phone permamently it seems. Becuase I left feedback, he will now be free to do what he likes with the money, such as withdraw it to his account. I started a claim in Paypal, but will there be any way for PayPal to get this money back/will I get a refund, or are all hopes lost? Thanks
I wrote that in yahoo answers yesterday, but it didn't really get me anywhere so I was wondering if you guys could help me. I have found out now that he is definately a scammer, someone left him negative feedback (seems they were scammed £340 over an iPhone) and therefore his account has been suspended I think, he didnt delete it. Anyway he could easily withdraw my money out of his paypal and bank account so that he no longer has it available for paypal to take back. So if he has no funds, how can PayPal refund me? Would they refund me themselves or have I lost £500!?!? :O Thanks
