Default ripped off on ebay

recently i bought a apexi for 350 off of fleebay i waited for my item to arrive but after waiting i got a little peed off ,so i chased it up and to cut a long story short the guys being a complete n*b

i asked him for the tracking number he sent me the wrong one i paid for him to post first class insured he never he posted it second class

now it is lost i asked him for all shipping details but he refuses to give me them i feel if indeed it was sent he is going to claim for the item himself and keep 2 loads of money

i have opened a dispute through paypal but im not going to hold my breath even if they award in my favour im sure he will just stop using the account so they cant recover the money

is there any way i can find out where the guy lives the details i have are as follows

his name on the paypal acount is as follows RICK MASDEN

the phone number i have for him is 078506449244

im pretty sure he comes from the Yorkshire area

all i want is my money back is that so bad is there any way i can find out where he lives ect ect

if any on has had the same problems and sorted it out info would be appreciated ,steven

I am pretty sure that there is an option with Ebay to request the contact details of a seller, you need their name and the Ebay auction number.

I do not know whether this link will work for you but give it a try

eBay Search: Find Contact Information

It should give you the name, address and telephone number for the seller, hope this helps.

if you paid by paypal, you can file a claim, open dispute and get your money. I recently bought STI suspension set from JDMSTI03 via the advert here. Similar situration with yours, no reply, no tracking no. At the end, I filed the claim and managed to get half of the money back from paypal. At least better than nothing...

A- Join the club
B- Good luck
I got ripped £1500, but eventually managed to get it back via Mastercard.
Paypal were f*cking useless.
Mastercard weren't that happy to pay out either.

You usually get the address when you buy and on checkout - its on the email that ebay send out.

Have you checked that?

Iv just checked on the last 6 items iv won and iv got the sellers address there everytime.

Perhaps only given if seller selects Cheque/Po payment as a possibility for facilitating getting the payment to the seller.

Yeah you do, or at least, It has always appeared on all the ones I've received

Good luck with Paypal Batman

I always pay my paypal through my credit card rather than with my debit a/c, Payscam hate you doing this and do everything they can to dissuade you.
This is because if something goes wrong the CC company will actively pursue them for all disputed funds
Whereas if you pay by debit card, Paythief will only refund whatever they can recoup from whoever scammed you

My sentiments exactly......Always remember Paypal FAVOUR the CROOK!!!!

Since eBay force sellers to use paypal the only protection is to do as CrisPDuk described.

When you receive paypal funds - remove them from your account asap and charge new payments directly from your credit card!

When you open a Paypal dispute, go into the resolution centre, and click on "Details" in the open cases section. You'll find the sellers address in there.
