Have his residential address?

File with the police department ...

One of my friends has been waiting 5 weeks for a hoodie and the police were at his house (the person who sold him the hoodie) within two days.

I've never used Paypal ... but don't you need a bank account / credit card or something to use it?

When you sign up, do they ask you for your address?

You need a CC in order to use Paypal internationally.

I'm in the middle of a dispute with my CC about someone ripping me for $440US as well... >:\

There is no 100% way to prevent fraud like this. Paypal could definitely do some things to tighten up their security but I don't want to get into the details. You can try and do a fraud dispute through your credit card but they probably won't accept it. If you have all the emails and docs of conversation that went down give it to your credit card company. They might be able to get the money back from paypal and then paypal will take the money out of the other individuals credit card account.

Bottom line if you can locate this individual you can get your money back. They breached the contract between the two of you and have no right to the money.

I dont have it set up with a CC....?

Paypal has all the info you need. You dont have to include a SSN, but you do have to submit a billing address. Just act like your going to sign up and check out what you info you have submit. I dont know if they can divuldge (sp?) that info though. Contact local law enforcement, explain your situation, and they should be able to help or atleast point you in the right direction.

One way or the other there is someone that can help...Hope you get whats yours, and hope he gets whats coming to him.

Be patient man, Sure I know it sucks and yeah there is a chance you will never get your money back or the murchandise but at least it was not more then $220. Claims take a long time to process most of the time, just keep pursuing it in your free time but dont let it ruin your life. If all else fails just chalk it up to expierence.

Everyone who has been ripped of should setup some kind of special accounts to hire a hit man.
