Hello to the anonymous poster who wrote about her bad experience on e-bay. I occasionally buy on e-bay, but usually from ferret shelters that I've heard of before. In my small business we've had to take people with delinquent accounts to court, it is quite often not the most successful route to get your product or money owed to you. You went through to well known institutions (e-bay and paypal) to make your purchase. I would contact them and see if they can either (ebay) take up issue with the seller or (paypal) debit the sellers account and refund the payment you made. Good luck! Risa [Posted in FML issue 3735]
