thank you for letting me vent and for your suggestions

Elaine yes you must always check their feedback and if you see they have one to many negatives dont' buy from them. Did you also file a complaint with ebay? along with paypal, yes you have to put in the disputes you should get back your money, once they investiagate the seller..You are usually protected with ebay and paypal. Like the previous posts mention call your credit card company and explain the fruad that happen.. Good luck keep us posted... Gina

******* WARNING FOR ALL EBAY USERS *********

I saw a case relevant to this topic on a Spanish court show, similar to Judge Judy. A lady was suing her ex-boyfriend for $2500 because she gave him this amount in cash to purchase a computer on Ebay. The man found a seller that was selling 2 computers for $2500. When the boyfriend completed the transaction, the seller insisted that the man send him the money in form of a Western Union money order because they stated they did not accept Paypal or any other Ebay endorsed payment system. The poor guy sent the money order and never received the computers. The lady dumped him and was suing him for the money. The guy was sincere and presented the judge with proof of all the correspondence between him and the sellers. He even contacted Ebay and they said there was nothing they could do for him because they DO NOT guarentee any payments that are made outside of Paypal or any other Ebay endorsed payment system In the end, the judge's decision was that the boyfriend pay the lady half of the money because he used poor judgement but she said the lady was equally as responsible as well and was not entitled to all of her money back because she used poor judgement as well. The judge stressed to viewers that anyone buying stuff off of Ebay use caution and not send money in any way that forfeits your protection. If the seller doesn't take paypal, don't pay for the item, Ebay won't back you up if you lose your money.

I have bought quite a bit through ebay and have never had a problem. I'm so sorry that you have.

Be sure to ALWAYS check the feedback scores and how long they have been doing business on ebay. Take it as a life lesson and follow through with all the advice given above. I'm sure you will win out when it's over and done with..
