The really sad thing about all these frauds is that ebay take no responsibi=
lity.
In the "real world", this wouldn´t happen. A proper auction house has respo=
nsibilities. 
Ebay just let you leave feedback (ooohhh scary) and after 2 months mucking =
around tell 
you to contact the FBI or the police. Thanks guys You were a broker in the =
deal, but when 
it all goes wrong.....I still find it strange that they are legally not bou=
nd to provide more 
help in this respect. Maybe they can´t afford too?? ;-)
My rant over and condolences Philip!
