Looks like I've been scammed by an ebayer. I have to admit, it was maybe a bit naive of me to be so trusting to other ebayers, as I've never had problems in the past, but despite all the warnings in the rant and raves sections and a few fellow members, maybe I should have been a bit more cautious.
Anyways, calling a chap up for an S3 part from a car he was suppose to be breaking, we agreed a price, and I sent him payment to a paypal account. The account has no bearing to the guys name, but I paid it anyways, as he has decent feedback, and I've done it before multiple of times with no problems at all in the past. Item has not arrived at my doorstep, and it's been well over a week, despite him agreeing to send it off the next day. I haven't been able to get hold of him, as his phone is constantly switched off!, no suprises there huh?
So my question is, is there anyways to retrieve this monies, as it was sent by paypal? There was no ebay transaction, and the payment was taken off my card through paypal.
I know it's a bit of a long shot, but hey, you got to give it a try.
Any helps or tips is appreciated.
