I had this happen a long time ago....

Not sure if the way Ebay and Paypal are set up now precludes this from happening - I sent payment via Paypal $1300 for an item that was supposed to be shipped overnight. The "seller/scammer" and I had been messaging back and forth frequently over the immediately prior 24 hour period - after I paid - silence. No tracking - no communication. About 12 hours later I filed an item not received report with Paypal. I had spoken with them previously to understand the process and money flow (obviously didn't listen to my gut that was registering something wasn't right) - I was told that if I file an item not received report, the money is frozen until the case is resolved. Paypal decided the case in my favor BUT explained that the scammer had withdrawn the $$ almost as soon as I deposited it and I was SOL! Never made whole on that one.
