Funny story. I sold a GL2 to a guy on Ebay a couple years ago. He sends me the paypal after the auction. I ship the camera. The asshole receives it. I email him to make sure it arrived ok. He gives me this long email about how awesome the camera is. Two days later, I get a refund request from PayPal saying the asshole received the package but that the camera was damaged. So instead of even asking me, they credit the fucker back his money. Meanwhile he has my camera. After a couple more emails, the fucker says if I want the camera back, I am going to have to pay shipping. I was pissed. So I grudgingly agreed to pay $100 for overnight shipping back. The fuckhead ships me back a box of rocks. When I email EBay and complain, they say he proved he shipped the package back. I explain to them what he actually shipped back, they suggested I file a lawsuit in my local court. Now how the fuck am I supposed to serve this asshole when he lives in California?
Turns out later, this guy had done this several times to other vid cam owners under different names. EBay refused to do anything and PayPal kept saying it was an EBay issue. So fuck them both.
