Man I hate to see this kind of thing happen. I very much hope this guy has to pay up plus costs and that it all works out for you. I do a lot on eBay and have had a few minor scrapes but nothing serious, nothing like this scam. I've even bought and sold a couple of cars without any crisis. I suppose luck helps. One thing I have heard and read everywhere is that the highest risk is with wire transfers. There is virtually no recourse if it goes wrong as opposed to major credit card insurance, even PayPal has some extent of coverage. Unfortunately this type of scam usually requires legal intervention. What is this guys eBay name, is he still selling? The word needs to get out to be on the lookout for him.
