scammed out of $350 on ebay

To get the phone number of his local police department, just google "police department (city name)" and it should give you the very first result saying "police departments near (city name)" Click that and you're in.

Thanks, same to you. I just finished sending a 17 page fax to the Douglas County CO police department. Hopefully I'll hear back.

Acutally its better than that. There is a money pool for each case and the judgments get taken out of that andif there is anything left it gets divided equally between the two parties. So you might even make a couple of bucks off the deal.

Where is a link to the auction? How many feedback did the sellers have? Was most of it for selling? Did he have many negs? Also just because in the auction it states a city and state...doesnt mean that is where he lives //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif. Gl man.

Good point. Im not sure if he needs to list the correct city and state where he lives in order to use paypal.
I thought paypal would take your money from your credit card or bank account and pay the guy that got scammed but after thinking about it, that is a felony.

Keep us posted on what happens.

Small claims court takes up too much of your time to be considered useful. I'd only use it as a scare tactic. Just type up a professional letter in a nice envelope and send it certified to him. He'll figure out going to court sounds worse than just returning the money.

Holy shit I could only imagine how bad it would **** if some one was to sell like a set of rims or a car even and pay 10,000 for it and not get nothing and the guy spends on the 10,000 on paypal right away.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

this is why Paypal(owned by Ebay) sucks they play god and have no real way of ever getting your money if the seller closes his bank account BUT

the Bank that the seller was using does have the information on who the person was,as you cant opwen a bank account with out proper ID/

They should come up with a fail safe way so peeps dont get screwed like Escrow or something.

Small claims is a joke,dont even waste your time

Well i tried to get a new cd8443 from a local... it ended up not being a cd8443. So i went to this auction. Its alright to flame me, this auction had red flags all over it. No actual pictures, being advertised as new but the seller said that he used it for 2 months!
