Won a couple auctions in Sept for Laptop Repair (apparantly a common problem for HP DV6000 AMD/Nvidia machines). Prior to this, his feedback was pretty decent.

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eB...de=off&items=25&page=1

Basically, you pay $75 + $25 shipping (x 2 for me), you send in your laptop, he fixes them, he sends them back. His last e-mail was around Oct 10, but haven't heard anything else, since the negatives started coming in.

Even if I were to get my $$$ back from PayPal, he still has my two laptops. Am I completely screwed?

*sigh*...

OMG enough with the eBay threads, seriously. We get it, eBay sucks, PayPal sucks, yet you all keep using them. Donotcare.

yah... good luck. It seems like all his positive comments were from repair kids. All the laptop repairs are the negative comments. File a police report and hope for the best. Might even get to the FBI? since its a interstate issue?

If he cleans out his paypal account then you get ZERO back.

sounds like that laptop was junk anyways... assuming you sent it in for a bad board. Those failing nvidia chips... don't see how you are going to get a "good" board for one of those.

You gave him several hundred dollars of collateral and your only insurance policy is $75 paypal charge for the repair? I've got a bridge...

Either way you'd only be looking at most $75 +/- s&h to get back. Facepalm of a transaction on o/p's part
