ebay has a buyer guarantee but unfortunately it is only for like up to $100 for an item (or something like that). You can get some money back but probably not all of it.However, if you used PayPal you have some more options, you can file a dispute with them and it might work a little better. (ironic since they are the same company).
ALWAYS use paypal. I ve used Ebay for 3 years and refuse to complete and transaction outside of paypal. If you have paypal file a dispute, if not then you should contact ebay
If you paid with Paypal, you need to contact them.There will be no way to find the seller again, but sometimes Paypal and ebay will reimburse you.
if u paid through paypal then open a dispute. u can also open a dispute through ebay.
i would hunt that ***** down and pop him in da chest
