When I was in the US I only had one problem with paypal buying a PS3 and well seller never shipped, paypal only recovered part of the money. After HOURS and talking to different reps, paypal finally offered me a "courtesy credit" which covered half of what I was missing and then I waited another week and asked about the courtesy credit again and finally got ALL my money back, so for those of you still waiting on paypal I'd recommend to try what I did.
If no agreement or anything is made with this guy (even if paypal helped you guys out) don't waste time and contact
Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) The guy who scammed me had other complaints and local texas police at the time contacted me and said he was arrested! Not that I want this to happen to anyone, but if several people lost money here then justice must be made .............
