Yes, I messed up and used Paypal. Forgive my misteps, try and help me out. Come to find out the guy who was selling me a bike frame was stealing bikes and selling through various places on the internet. Got a call tonight from the PD in the area in which he lives. Hopefully he gets his ass handed to him. Anyway, I've already opened a claim with paypal. I used my bank account (I know, I know...dumb). What are the chances I'll get any of my $ back? I imagine he's already emptied his Paypal balance. Purchase was not through eBay.

I don't know why everyone on this board uses paypal so much. Don't we boycott antigun companies and isn't paypal one of them.

Not quite sure yet. The frame has never arrived. The Officer told me that they don't believe it was stolen, but they can't find it after executing the warrant. He said if it does show up to run the serial # by him. Very possible I was defrauded and the frame was sold to someone else.

If you didn't send the payment as a gift to skirt the fees you should have little trouble getting it back.

My experience with paypal is that they are really good about disputes and fraud claims. I hope yours turns out in your favor, good luck.

Glad to hear it. Wonder where the $ comes from if he's emptied his Paypal balance?
