Would also suggest you disconnect your bank account from your paypal account now (they can not authorize a charge back on your credit card without your consent). I think the criminal investigation for fraud may get the buyer's attention. Don't waste your time with ebay and paypal stating your case - I speak from experience here. I had a buyer buy a jersey from me via paypal with a stolen credit card. The buyer ended up with the jersey; I got nothing except the finger from paypal as they quickly removed the money from my account. I asked ebay to, at minimum, suspend the person's ebay account - they said they'd look into it, but never did.


I had a similar situation last year with a buyer who bought a framed jersey from me. After having it for a couple weeks he decided he didn't want it. He got a refund and PayPal put my account $1100 in the negative(the price of the item). This guy then shipped me back the BROKEN GLASS only in the box,(to make it look like he returned it) and reversed the $75 shipping charges to ME upon Receipt at the FEDEX office where I was called to pick it up ! I got there, refused to pay until I opened it with the FEDEX people as witnesses. Anyways it took about two months and Paypal verifying my story and they finally reimbursed my account. I promptly closed my account. PAYPAL IS A JOKE ! They will freeze money of yours for months, on a suspicion !

Oh yeah, the scumbag buyer ? He kept his refund, and I just saw the jersey a month or so ago back on Ebay relisted. So the piece of garbage got a free jersey and then turned around and made money selling it. Paypal wound up picking up the $1100 tab, because the Credit Card Company told them to stick it !LOL I thought it was justified since they enabled this scumbag to do this.
