Don't expect any replies, but DH sold an expensive camera worth four figures. The buyer only had a PO Box address and contacted us saying he would come and collect. Anyway, money went into paypal but by a different name and we had this limited thing which meant we couldn't transfer the money into our bank account because of the amount. Anyway, the bloke came to collect saying it was for his boss. The next day, paypal said the payment is now reversed as the payee claims this is not her. Lost a camera and money and neither ebay 0r paypal are responding to this. We have notified them but nothing. Very very very angry and shan't ever use paypal again and if we do use ebay, will only accept cheques or cash.
Final note, we gave a negative feedback about the buyer and two people have come forward, saying the same thing has happened. No doubt, they will stop the account and change their name so the can scam someone else.
