First time this has ever happened to me...

Any AOers near Issaquah Washington wanna help out? (not that you can really do much)

Got ripped 75.00 for a loader, tried filing paypal claim last week (not that it'll do much)...

Whats the best way to 'attempt' to get my money back? I know I probably won't, but anythings worth a try for a poor college student.

Any one with experience in these matters?

if you have paypal, and there was no item recieved on your part then file the complaint and you should get the money back.

You could sell him something he is looking for and send a mailbomb.... doesn't get your moneyback but will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Paypal claims take a couple of days to process. MAKE SURE you mark it as already talked to the seller, and he is non cooperative. If you say you have gotten no response or you say that not talked to the seller, there goes any chance to get your money back. They only allow one claim to be filed, dont mess it up. Also, they will only give you as much money as he has in his account, i believe.
call his parents. /thread

You can also possibly charge him with mail fraud, I think since he did not send you the item agreed upon.

Yeah paypal is really good about getting your money back. I have been ripped twice, both times on ebay never here. And paypal got my money back both times.

Only if the person still has money in their PayPal account. If the account is empty you are out of luck. I just won a dispute through them but am absolutely screwed out of my money because the scammer pulled all available money out of the account before his multiple disputes were completed.
