My ebay wing UPDATE
 

I just realized I wrote the wrong date on my post. I won and paid for the FW on march 20. I finally filed a grievance with ebay last night. This morning I had a grievance against me for non payment. I contacted ebay and they suggested I contact PayPal to get my money back. Told them I didn't want my money back, I wanted the FW (got it for $162.00 and now I'm thinking the seller is trying to get out of the deal). Ebay checked the history and found that the seller used a different email to post the FW then she uses for her PayPal. Ebay suggested I contact the seller again and this time I got a response that she has been ill and shipped the machine out today. Why would she ship the same day she claimed she didn't get paid? Anyway, I don't care. I just want the machine.

Good grief..some people have no scrupples! I hope you get the machine, keep us posted.

Gosh I hope you get the machine and everything turns out OK! My experience wasn't so good, altho I did get my money back from PayPal - I was like you (didn't want the money, I wanted the FW machine). The seller reniged on the deal after I had paid and left me for 10 days or so expecting the UPS truck at any minute. Needless to say I was really upset and I still don't have a FW! I hope the person you purchased from wasn't in Montana! Do let us know when your machine arrives.

I hope everything turns out ok. I do understand about that email issue with Paypal. If a seller makes a typo in their auction listing in the email address for Paypal, it carries through on your payment, and the payment goes to Lalaland. Your transaction has gotten off to a bad start, so let's hope that things improve. The seller should be able to give you some tracking information, so that you can follow the transit.

I hope everthing is straightened out and she arrives soon!!

Good Grief! Sounds like Seller's Remorse- she was probably hoping for a $400 sale. I think the PayPal payment would have "bounced" and you'd receive an immediate "heads up" warning. I'm guessing she indeed had a second PayPal bank
account and received the money. Shame on her! So- are you going to name your machine "Trouble"? Hopefully it will be safe in your hands any day now.

That's why I don't do PayPal. Using a credit card is much better because you can always have the charge removed.
