conned
duped, swindled, whatever you want to call it
STIGIMUN has conned me out of £30 notes as payment for a supposed charger  last heared from him last week when i asked if he had posted it he said he had, not heared from him since despite pm ing him and leaving a reply on the original sale thread.http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24071 this is the thread he started to sell his stuff, i wanted the charger. dont have much chance of getting money back despite paying via paypal as he wanted payment as a gift, should have smelled a rat then  just thought i would warn you all when you buy something dont pay via paypal as a gift, pay for 'goods' instead that way you are covered.

I think its unlikely that you have been fiddled dude. Its Bank Holiday Monday today - if its not arrived by the end of this week then id be a bit more worried. He could be ill, pc problems, on holiday or even be lost in the post etc.
Give it a bit longer as i dont think you have given it long enough - if he was a conman then hes a bad one - is it really worth it for £30 ! ? Its highly unlikely

He definitely hasn't been online here (logged in at least) since the 19th, which would suggest anything could be wrong - but a google says he posted on rcracechat yesterday.......
http://www.rcracechat.com/vb/showthread.php?p=378446 Possibly he's into tattooing? http://www.flamineight.co.uk/tattoof...1233&PID=12076 I won't jump to any conclusions and obviously you feel you've been ripped off since he's obviously not getting back to you / dealing with his responsibilities as a seller. But I'd still advise caution - better to use your head and see if it can still be sorted out, as your post seems to suggest this is it, the end! I don't think it is and even though he's not been on here (avoiding you?) he's certainly still active and possibly someone will know him and get him to sort it out. Keep emailing him - but good warning about paypal.

Inform your local Police. They can request the paypal account holder details (which would include bank and address details) under a DPA (Data Protection Act) request, as it would be for the detection and provention of crime. Really easy crime to solve if you ask me, but alas the police, in my experiance are in general, rubbish.
You could try your local trading standards service, but from reading your post it feels more like a theft than a fraud offence. They might take it on if you can prove that his transactions are in the course of a business. They have the exact same powers (if not stronger) if the seller is infact trading. Of course all the above relate to criminal offences, you would have to take action in the county court to reclaim your money

The post about only being protected from payments on eBay is not 100% true. I bought some stuff from a shop that sells airsoft (my 'other' hobby), and after waiting a week, I had heard nothing. I emailed them requesting my money back after poor service, and still, nothing. I filed a dispute through Paypal, and got my money back. It appeared the shop couldn't be bothered to read my emails or answer my calls, but a dispute made them act pretty sharpish.
So, it appears, you can file a dispute/claim anyway. Though not, I'm afraid if you have sent through PP as a gift, as PP assume you know who the other person is etc (as with most 'gifts'). I hope you can get your money back though rcmadd

That's what I'd do. Not sure if you know his physical address or not - but like someone else said, the police can get that from paypal.
