Whoohoo
even better news guys....i just contacted paypal as well and first got a pretty good run around, had to tell my story at least four times...but finally got connected to an "account specialist" named Jeff (extention 6135) who not only gave me back 133.50 as a good faith return...but indicated after looking at vincents history and seeing all the claims for the same amount, assured me that he would be bringing the whole deal to the fraud department of paypal.
he stated all is not lost yet and that the other half of the money may also be returned. He strongly suggested that others call and use his extention, explain that you are from the same group and he would be glad to help you as well.
Not only did he help me with that but he also refunded 112.95 to my account for another item i had purchased off ebay (wolverine claws) and never received. I had tried to file a claim but was 3 days over the 45 and he thought that was rediculous and quickly refunded the full amount to me!
I paid with my standard checking account withdraw in case you were wondering and he just credited my paypal balance!
I spoke in length with him and told him that something seriously needs to be done against vincente and he agreed that the issue is totally unfair and he would be doing what he could. he stated that when something like this occures that is obvious fraud, paylpal normal takes the loss, pays everyone back and then goes after the seller criminally...maybe that will happen now?
but for the mean time call this guy and get some of your money back!
