ParticipantDefinitely issue the credit card dispute. That’s about the only way you’ll get some money back. Plus, its pretty simple to do and fairly hassle free.
Go to the Sky Point Digital web site and print the $929 ad. You’ll need to send a copy of it to your credit card company later on. Good luck.

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Nic: You’re welcome. As crappy as it sounds, you have to chalk this one up to experience. I had a similar experience with my 11 year old son and an eBay purchase of some Star Wars action figures. I figured that it was a rip-off and told my son, but he was adamant about the purchase, so I let him use my PayPal.
Following, I sent an email to the seller and let him know he had just ripped off a heartbroken 11 year old boy and he sent me a snotty response along the lines of “live and learn”. It was a valuable, if unfortunate, lesson for my son, but he took it to heart.[/quote]
You should have recourse with PayPal and Ebay – what was the sellers feedback? For me to buy from a seller the feedback has to be 99.5% and above to even start considering a purchase.

ParticipantI agree with the feedback form. The honest vendors take it seriously. The crooks will just change their selling name on ebay. Always use pay pal and back it up with a credit card so you can dispute it. I know someone who went after a crook for fraud, but he was able to track him down locally and got some kind of case filed against the seller by filing a police report. I think that would not be easy. This was a pretty tenacious buyer, who refused to be ripped off. I think most police departments would not want to touch any of this and I do not know how good e-bay is about policing its site. I also would read some of the feed back on the seller if his score is not in the very high 90’s and see what kind of complaints are filed against him/ her.
