I think I need to do a chargeback soon.

If it doesn't work, I may be interested in buying it from you depending on the condition and what's included. Send me a PM and a pic...

Then you need to contact PayPal and file an official complaint with them. If you had paid by CC, it would have been a lot easier, all you'd do is call your CC company and dispute the charge (fill out a form and fax it back to them most likely, thats it). With PayPal it will probably be more of a hassle, but you should get the ball rolling ASAP.

None, looks like your money is gone. No way to do a CC chargeback since you didn't pay by CC. Your last option is to leave him a flaming negative feedback and warn others not to do business with him, ever. By all means, DO leave that feedback, because it helps others to avoid his ripoffs! <img src="graemlins/eye.gif" border="0" alt="[Eye]" /> <img src="graemlins/eye.gif" border="0" alt="[Eye]" />

Yah, good idea. I definately will if he doesn't get back to me soon. I'm gonna give him another week or 2 for good measure.

He said he'd refund me, minus shipping an paypal fees. That's messed though.

If I send him the system, I may never get anything out of him again.

This sucks.

If I don't get my money back or whatever, and I get him with a neg feedback, can he still get me somehow?</strong><hr></blockquote>

HAHA, if he already left a positive, then there's nothing he can do . . . you should simply tell him that you'll be leaving a negative, and see if he moves on his refund. But I have a feeling that this seller won't come through, and he'll just string you along at best. The negative is the only final option you have, but I guess you could give him an absolute ultimatum: refund ALL of your money, or he gets a negative. Thats bullshit that he's trying to deduct shipping and Ebay fees . . . just wrong.
