      If you paid PayPal, you can get him fucked by contacting them.

          That's way there is services like escrow to ensure succesful transfer.

            contact paypal and if he's legit you'll get an answer straight back apologising with some lame excuse and if he's a scammer he wont answer paypal and they'll take the money off him very hard to scam through paypal they're pretty much always on the buyers side whether the buyers right or not !

            Still waiting for the release of the wii over here in blighty so would like to know what your guys opinions of it are ?

                  Fill a buyer complaint ASAP... ;)

                  They offer buyer protection for ebay items too.

                      don't know where you are, but here you can look on Craig's List, get them for under $400, and make a person-to-person transfer without worrying about delivery.

                                              For sure file with paypal fast.
                                              I have been screwed a couple of time using ebay and everytime I file it with paypal I get my cash back.
                                              So hopefully you have the same kind of luck.

                                                    $500? Wow, man, they're in stock here. So is PS3 and Xbox 360. I walked into a store the other day, NO preorder, and was able to buy systems.

                                                    When you get your Wii, toss me your Wii number!

                                                          Glad you got your system. Just for everyone else who pays via PayPal... *always* pay via Credit Card (that's on file with PP), that way if PayPal can't help you can always do a chargeback. Never pay via echeck or let them take funds from your bank account or you are pretty much fucked.

                                                            There's a TWO minute difference between the posts. I posted AFTER Madawgz, and the guy's post wasn't there when *I* posted it.

                                                            Careful with the "fucking idiot" label, because I think it applies to YOU in this case.

                                                                Trouble is a lot of people have PP setup to go through their bank account, rather than a credit card. In that case you can't call up your cc company and chargeback. That's why I posted what I did a few posts up... paypal sucks on helping people in a timely manor, their fraud protection shit is pretty weak. *never* send payment via PP with a echeck or let PP pull funds from your bank account, always use a credit card.

Just for everyone else who pays via PayPal... *always* pay via Credit Card (that's on file with PP), that way if PayPal can't help you can always do a chargeback. Never pay via echeck or let them take funds from your bank account or you are pretty much fucked.

PP's fraud protection is nice in theory, completely useless most of the time. They accidentally stated as such @ the UK PayPal LOL, they actually had it in brackets that their fraud protection program was fairly useless.
