In April I was trying to buy a ticket for Michael Jackson's This Is It concert in London. I checked ebay.com and found a posting from an ebay user named '0150_cat', that offered 2 tickets for very good seats. The user had great ratings and a long history in ebay so I had a good feeling about him. I contacted the user asking if I could only buy 1 ticket. He said no, but he had another single ticket for an even better seat.
He sent me an invoice through paypal (now that I think about it, I should have insisted that he posts that ticket on ebay!), and I paid the bill ($ 380!!!).
He was very nice, answered my emails with a few hours and was always available.
Early June I contacted him asking for an update. A week later, not having received a response, I filed a dispute. I had a bad feeling. He immediately contacted me asking why I filed a dispute. I canceled the dispute, but still had a bad feeling.
When Michael Jackson (unfortunately) passed away, I contacted him asking when he can refund my money. No response. I emailed again (to both of his email address) - both emails bounced back as undeliverable. So he either closed those accounts or he blocked me.
I filed a dispute with my credit company, but seriously doubt they'd be able to get in touch with him. In the meantime, I tried to contact him on ebay, but he is still ignoring me. I never thought this would happen to me, and I've never been this stupid before, but you live you learn, I guess.
I want to warm anybody using Ebay about ARNOLD LAYNE (email addresses [email protected], [email protected]) that he will steal your money and you will never see it again!
