i never use ebay/paypal for big ticket items. sold laker playoff tix on ebay, guy paid by paypal. i have receipt of shipping, evidence tix were used and everything. paypal told me i owed them $1200 and sent me to collections. they did not stand up for me and i will never use them again... the world is full of crooks, and with the economy not doing great, the roaches are coming out into the light trying to prey on honest individuals...

So I called the fine folks at Ebay this morning. It's been a week since I escalated this to a claim. They said that they have not heard anything from the cellar. They informed me that I am set to get a refund of my entire purchase price on the 16th. We shall see....
