Thanks Guys.

I do feel like my credit card company will come through for me. This is obviously a case of fraud and PayPal's policy regarding only allowing one claim per transaction is almost criminal.

Christopher Hunyh's Audiogon account has been suspended so his AG username Vott99 will probably not come up anymore. He will probably have a new username so beware of the name. His PayPal username, which is still active, is cs32799@yahoo.com.

I do agree though that paying with a credit card us the safest form of payment. I also stay away from sellers who only accept money orders. Just too much risk since it's like sending cash. Unless the seller has A LOT of feedback or is a pretty well known person here in the Asylum.

I wish that someone else would start an online payment system that had better protections. Like holding funds in escrow until the buyer is satisfied with the transaction. That certainly puts the onus on the seller to be truthful.

  to chargeback is SOMETIMES honored by the credit card company, and Paypal has such an illegal agreement in its terms. Most, if not all credit card processors say "You cannot ask customer to waive his right to chargeback". It will be interesting to see who wins.

  I am always suspicious of people with yahoo accounts. Most scammers seem to have a yahoo address . . . .I guess because it's so easy to open an account.
  
  Not all yahoo members are scammers but most scammers use yahoo, in my experience!

    pinpoint why; it just seems scammers and gmail. BTW, the eBay scammer with phony Martin Logan and BW used gmail accounts for his "Contact me now, 100% safe, free shipping worldwide"" scams.
