Something I read stated that PayPal will only refund your money from a fradulent sale *if* the seller has money in his PayPal account, otherwise you're SOL. Anyone know how true that is? (I use PayPal out of convenience BTW, but reading that was a little unsettling.)

@-D-
If you're wondering if Paypal can go into your REAL account (ie. bank account) to get money you OWE for whatever reason (like my situation), NO they CANNOT.  Trust me, I "owe" $400  :lol:


The only real way to protect yourself online is to pay with a credit card because usually the CC company will reimburse you if you're ripped off, but it works both ways.
Money orders?  Nah..I was ripped off by a Connecticuit (sp) ebayer selling me a A1200.

Thanks for the info. Seems like I may be in a somewhat similar situation to yours, I was promised tracking info on Monday, still nothing today and no response to my email. I payed immediately too, which really annoys me. And according to what I've read on PayPal's site, they will only reimburse me IF the seller has money in his PayPal account.

At this point, I'm just hoping for a happy ending... or I may have to go Charles Bronson on someone's a$$.
