I have had to file a fewYou get days to file the complaint with paypal - if that is how you paid that is the way to go.Once you file the complaint it freezes his accounts for withdrawing money until it is resolved ( that is if he has any money in there- if he is not returning emails he may have clreaded it out.If you made sure that you bought from someon with Paypal protection logo on the auction you are covered up to that amount. I always look at that before I bid on anything !!!!!if you buy something for $ but the guy is only covered for $ 200 and you pay with paypal funds the most you are going to get back from them is $ 200. If there is nothing on the listing I think you can only geet $ 40 back.If you pay via a credit card via paypal rather than a paypal balance then you are much better protected even without the paypal protection as you have your credit card protection and they debit paypal who goes after the culpritHope that helps - always check the auction and see if it is protected -Shummy
