I cannot believe it. A scam if ever I saw one, and it seems that there's
at least a few people who are taking it seriously.


The last time I tried to report a scammer using a PayPal account
to PayPal they refuse to accept the report, even by telephone!
No wonder people keep doing it.

I too was the victum of an eBay scammer. Neither eBay nor PayPal were the
SLIGHTEST bit interested in helping. To their discredit, eBay PRETENDED to
'investigate' the issue; but after a few weeks informed me that the seller
(scammer) was 'having difficulty' using the Square Trade website. Because
of this eBay informed me that as the seller was 'unable' to respond to the
complaint, there was nothing else eBay could do and was therefore closing
the file.

My experience with PayPal was similar to yours. I immediately closed my
Paypal account and paid their ridiculous fee to get MY money back to me. I
now will not make any purchases using Paypal, and I suspect they could care
less.
