I agree with everything you said. I've tried multiple times to speak to a person at paypal, and "report fraudulent transaction" doesn't work, because it wasn't a problem with something I purchased USING paypal, it was a debit/credit purchase TOO someone's paypal. Ive checked with the bank, and no other suspicious charges have happened, but I ordered a new card and number to be safe. PayPal is a participant in this, buy not allowing me to talk to a human so they can at least flag this guy's account, and maybe stop others from falling into the trap. I should have been more sceptical, since the item was $8 lower than anyone else (item was $71.59 belt sander), but I was trying to get it as low as I could, because my dad was going to pay me back for the item. Also, during the purchase, under acceptable payments, they showed they accept all major credit cards or paypal. When I selected paypal, it didnt log me into my paypal, it just showed where they were taking credit card payments TO there paypal. That should have been a red flag! And just like you said, 2 days later, the online store is no longer there! I did get to send an email to them requesting information on the transaction, and I emailed the paypal account holder, but to no avail. I guess you live and learn. Just frustrated that I've still got to buy a belt sander, and this piece of crap gets to continue scamming others out of there money. Thanks for the knowledge. And have a great day.
