If he sent you info for payment---that was after the auction ended, right?

Follow it up with ebay. He's full of %$%$%$%$ about the power outage and not being able to "stop" the auction.

Yea, you won't get your merchandise but ebay may whack the seller for violating his member agreement.

Be thankful...

Last year at about this time I happened upon a to good to be true deal on a new Van Staal on Ebay. $450 bucks...

It turns out the seller was selling reels he didn't have to get enough money to meet a minimum order through a dealer in CT I believe. So it wasn't a true scam, but it was shady.

When they said the reels would be delayed I was stupid and said I'd wait a few weeks...which ended up putting me past the 30 window to file a complaint for PayPal. After 30 days they won't do anything but lock their account.

I did end up getting my money back, but it took about 6 months until I finally just said we were going to court. Which I obviously didn't want to do. What a mess.

So count yourself lucky...and shop smart.

be very careful on ebay- always consider sellers feedback rating when bidding.
