    TRA - yes I got back to bank they will chase it and refund it (no charge - takes 90 days). I am going to await a reply from PayPal and if they insist on me getting the $76.50 Citec report then I will advise them the bank will persue it from them for me and go that way.

    Zippidy - thanks for looking mate.

    Oh Well so much for PayPal:-

    PayPal,

    Please know we have done everything possible to supply you with information:-

    - We have sent you photographs of the delivered item and envelope with delivery reference number on it as attached by seller and the content being one small pebble.

    - We have filed a complaint of fraud against the seller (qing li ma) with Queensland Police and supplied you with Occurrence Number QP120103XXXX.

    - We have given you names, times, phone numbers of all the people we have dealt with should you need to verify anything above.

    - We are prepared to give you a statutory declaration stating the above and documents provided to police.

    Yet you have insisted upon a document from Citec which they say will take up to 28 days to arrive and you have given us 10 days in which to do this and no extension to this.

    We have now raised a dispute with our bank that this is a fraudulent transaction and they will recover the money.

    Do not pass the funds onto qing li ma as it is a fraudulent sale.

    PayPal have failed miserably in their duty in this instance.

    Regards
    Cheers

    Hi,

    I sent a letter and hi-res pics of envelope to PayPal and explained that:-

    · I had ebay withdraw two other sales as fraudulent that were listed exact same but listed different seller so this dude is fraudulent. Also ebay notified me Sunday 5.09pm where they processed the payment 5.03pm so they would have known it was fraudulent at the time and should not have processed it.

    · The photographs clearly show tracking number, postage dates on Chinese stamps etc and are a small envelope that cannot be forged hence I was sent a small stone in a small envelope.

    · I would send to them the envelope to inspect if they wished.

    · Detective senior constable Robert H at local police station wants to talk with them about my case.

    · No matter whether or not they close the case I will pursue the fraudulently taken money from me.

    · If they waste any more of my time I will use public forum, newspaper media friends and approach TV media as this is becoming a newsworthy story.

    I finally got my money back J

    Lesson learnt!

    Cheers

    Yes at the expense of my pride and dignity I shared this little episode

    Must have had a fried brain when I bid on it

    Thank you for your bid on the following listing:
    However, eBay has had to remove the listing. All bids or offers have beencancelled. Also, we recommend that you consider carefully whether to completethis transaction.
    *Important*
    We strongly recommend that you do not go ahead with the purchase however if youhave already paid for this item but haven't received it, you need to actquickly to get your money back.
    - If you paid with PayPal, you may be eligible for up to $20,000 in PayPalBuyer Protection. To file a dispute go to the Resolution Centre in My eBay andclick on I haven't received it yet or I received an item that does not match the seller's description.

    got this back this afternoon
    JT
    Yes for sure next option is four times the price so will definitely be from a bigger better seller - infact the two mentioned by others I have been in contact with and now just awaiting the model i want to be listed then it's time to stir up SWMBO with a combination birthday Christmas present (too expensive for only one - but wait hang on - I am worth it)

    Well maybe I saved one other from similar fate with this story so it was not just a major pain but of some entertainment and benefit and the only real cost my time (and pride and as much of a nuisance as it was the trivial distraction probably did me no harm either.

    No I haven't but if this keeps up I will

    Just kidding - but it's getting tempting.

    Reckon time is ripe not to try my luck there anymore.

    Yeah - time for a change of luck too would be great - starting next week with little chappies scans

    But yeah you gotta laugh at all this pain in the A, non-life threatening stuff happening - but hey, what the heck!
