anyone had issues with ebay? Did you get them resolved?

Did you check out his feedback? If he had negative, did he respond positively or he "gave an attitude"? That is how I spot bad people on eBay. I have NEVER been screwed on eBay...because of the feedback. Sorry you were had, brother. For the next time, if it's a Western Union or Money Gram transfer outside the U.S., it is a scam. I got scammed for $400 from a guy in Italy for a Novation Supernova II...which sells for over $1,000...in a SonicState.com music instruments classified. He was such a nice guy and we chatted by e-mail for a while until I sent him the trasfer. Never heard from him and 2 days later I read on the SonicState.com classifieds that he was a scammer. I had the chance to get suspicious when he said he needed me to contact MoneyGram and change a letter in his name because they wouldn't give him the money and they were looking at him like he was a criminal. I wish that would've woken up a paranoia in me but it didn't. Oh well! I reported it to the FBI complaint center but I knew they weren't going to do anything.
