ok, i paypalled him the money, i have contacted both ebay, and paypal. paypal sent a refund(or tried) but there was no money because he was under "investigation" by ebay, and the money was frozen. so i was pateient, and told him ill just take a refund, he has been making up excuses, and for the last 3-4 weeks, i have had no replies(5 or so emails) i have all the origianl emails, but i will warn you, its alot of stuff, so if u want me to post it, it'll be LONG! ill go check trollhunters.com, thanks :)
Edit: troll hunters isn't working for me....
EDit:wait, working

Wow, you're a great help.

Contact eBay, they used to refund your money (like 80%) of it. Just fill out those forms, like the dead-beat seller one..

btw: i would prefer to have some one go there because he can just hang up on the fone, ill call tommarrow maybe and try to get some where, but its 9:30sih there, and i dont know his scedule, but thats a tiny late, i usually dont call any one pased 9 so i think i should try to be polite, he might have a valid defense (haha, yeah right :S) but if/when that goes wrong, i would like an address.. :)

Yeah, I think that your best bet is to wait to call tomorrow, and if he picks up and then hangs up on you, or just doesnt answer the phone, I wonder if it would be too drastic to call the authorites in the area that he lives and have them check it out. I thought that if you requested info from ebay about a member, you get their address too. Sounds shady. Good luck getting your money back.

I was trolled out of $90 US on my first online buying experience. Tried to get it back and get in contact with the seller but eBay and PayPal wouldn't do anything.

Live and learn. Only deal with people with 1000+ eBay feedback or been with eBay for 2+ years and are all positive.

GL man.

Do you have a squeeky voice? I don't think calling is such a good idea if puberty hasn't hit yet ;)
