Wow that's pretty sad. I know a lot of guys buy from him. Ive bought a lot from him several months ago. If they suspended his paypal account then he can receive payments but not retrieve them or use them. When somebody did it to me unfairly, I had to get them to release their claim on my account before I could get the rest of my money.
I wonder how its treated if paypal has to step in. That could put him out of business.

Was it paypal that you filed the claim with or Ebay that made the decision to refund your payment?
