I paid with my PayPal funds so the money came right out of my account. Your right I can file a claim with eBay, but will have to pay a $25 deductable. I just called his house and no one seems to be able to find him. Just a note: I checked to see what he has been bidding on and HE IS BIDDING ON A LOT OF CASINO CHIPS. Very Shady person if you ask me. I guess I wiil be more careful in the future.
