Wow, thanks for the info guys! While checking out Paypal stuff I finally saw some of this info (you have to log in to see it I guess) and it says to open a complaint within 45 days and then you have 20 days to file that complaint if the seller doesn't make it right between the two of you. I think they changed the 30 to 45, but I could be wrong. I just checked and the auction was not protected, however I payed a bit under $200 with my CC through paypal. As for him clearing his account, I highly doubt it, as he seems to sell quite a bit and even had a few auctions up until a day or so ago. So if Paypal won't give me all my $ back I should just dispute the charge on my CC? Anyhow, I don't know what to think as my item was supposedly ready to ship when I bought it, but he has stopped answering e-mails. I think a few on this site have had this situation occur with this same person. Here's hoping I don't have to go through all of this crap. Thanks everyone!<!--QuoteBegin-shummy+Mar 22 2007, 08:48 PM<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE(shummy @ Mar 22 2007, 08:48 PM)</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--QuoteEBeginI 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<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=211267\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEnd
