i was the successful bidder on ebay for an iphone 4s for £625
the seller contacted me and asked to cancel the bid on ebay and pay direct thru paypal so they didnt have to pay ebay fees.
this i done as the iphone 4s 64gb white unlocked is quite hard to get hold of and it was wanted as a present this coming week.
i have now reported this to ebay, i know i should have done this in the first place but i was only thinking of getting the phone in time.
for four days now i havenot been able to contact the seller by email or phone.
because of the amount of money the iphone has cost me i am concerned i will not recieve it.
i have now filed a dispute with paypal for a refund.
has this ever happened to anyone before ?
do you know when i can expect to get my money back ?
any comments will be appreciated, even constructive critisism
