BillyVance 34 #2 February 29, 2008 Report him to the scam alert forum down at the bottom... I thought Pay pal had a safety feature where you could hold the funds in escrow until you had what you bought in your hands?

rustymurray 0 #3 February 29, 2008 I contacted Paypal,they insure items paid through Ebay but outside Ebay they can only provide"best effort" to recover money,if the guy has withdrawn the money,$600 in this case it becomes harder to recover funds,I felt safe using Paypal as I thought money was held,let it be a warning to others,I still have Paypal on the case so hopefully they can sort something out.I have sent a pm to the security moderater on here but I thought I'd post here in case anyone else is in communication with this guy.I'm going to pursue this scammer through my creditcard company if Paypal don't come up with anything.Again a warning to others,Paypal DONT gaurauntee you're money!
