True paypal story.....
And to add; it's not ONLY ebay transactions, its all transactions through paypal (my example above was a non-ebay transaction that I simply paid via paypal).
Damn this **** sucks! Ive sold alot of stuff with paypal. Hell I sold the blower of my first lt1 for $1500 and got paid with paypal. Thank god the guy wasnt a douche bag! I hate hearing **** like this happen! Something like this ever happens to me ill probably end up in prison...
OP surely the truth will unfold and will you get this problem resolved. Money orders for me for now on.

Wow, just read the thread fuming in my chair.
Legally, it sound's like there isn't much you can do without having to spend money on lawyer...It is amazing what people can get away with now'a'days. If it was me, I'd go down there with some friends, tools, a truck and a trailer. Look up the name in yellowbooks or follow the guy. Then steal his car with the trailer real early in the morning. Followed up by pulling the tranny along with any parts that would equate up to 1,200. I.E. his motor (600), wiring harness and pcm (200), Deck (100), speakers (100), and what ever else. Load the truck up, drop the car off down the block, and go home.
"An eye for an eye"
Hope you get the problem resolved legally (perfered), but sometimes illegally is okay if you don't go overboard.

For high money transactions this is what I do.
Open a NEW bank account at your bank. They are usually completely free and very easy to set up. Have the buyer WIRE the money into your account. Usually it costs around $15-30 but its far cheaper than the 3% that paypal charges especially for $1200. Once that money hits your account (they can only wire IN and not out) its yours. Its very secure because you actually have a bank that will protect you. Paypal is not and could care less about the user in the end. They are there to collect fees and that is why scammers LOVE it.

That's the main point brother and I'm glad a lot of people are reading this thread, I really hate to see a fellow member here go through the same thing I am right now. Ebay owns paypal now and remember, if you'll ever owe paypal, your ebay will be blocked.
