hey loco, how long ago did you file that claim with paypal? i got screwed over on ebay and ended up having to file a claim, got my money back ten days later cause paypal never got a response from the chick. well, minus some paypal fees of course
its a signifigant amount of money, and hes obviously trying to scam more people too, so i wouldnt hesitate to contact the authorities in his area. get all your evidence in order, all the emails and PMs, print em out then just go after him.
in the meantime we can all do our best to humiliate him and make his life hell.
