MGS01 on eBay. Again...

[callison]

It of course depends on how you were scammed, but you are aware that eBay is insured and can reimburse you for your losses if the auction turned out to be a scam??

 

I once lost about $100, and eBay(via Lloyds of London) sent me a check after about a month.

Check out their fraud section, and "Safe Harbor" process.  I don't know how it may have changed in the 3-4 years since I filed a claim, but as far as I know, they still cover some types of scams, etc.

Apparently, the PayPal portion of the process now just says that they "Cannot recover the funds" and lets you go your merry way. This I find out because I got burned last week for $85 on an ECU. One of the other guys got burned $760. At least I used my credit card for the payment , I may be able to get it back.
