Jake, if you have not yet done so, start a dispute through Paypal today because after a certain amount of time you can no longer open a dispute. If you can escalate it immediately, do so. Whatever you do do not close the dispute before you have money in hand, once closed it cannot be reopened ordinarily.

It does not matter whether he has money if you win the dispute, PayPal will refund you and then go after him for reimbursement.

I wouldn't believe a refund was coming unless he was sending a postal money order.

If you haven't already, file a dispute.

Unfortunately I am the idiot that sent it to him friends and family, so I believe nothing can be done that way. I should have known better, and I made the mistake.

If you backed the payment up with a credit card you may be able to get it back that way. If you used your PayPal balance or a linked bank account then it's less likely.

Shoot, another victim of the friends and family thing. It can be an expensive way to 'save' on the 3% fee. Well, at least you'll know next time.

If a seller is fixated on the 3% thing, (which is still not ok with paypal btw - it's the seller's fee to pay) you can always add the 3% to the cost and pay the right way. That way you are still protected.

Steve is Strange

Last year, Steve purchased a Yellow Bellied Slider from me. Several days later, he sent me telling me how pleased he is with the turtle. His message included a photo of Steve mating with the poor turtle.

Clearly, someone with legal issues, debt issues, jail issues, and now a report of.....let's just say strange behavior with a turtle, has a lot of opportunity for personal growth and development before becoming someone that anyone should do business with.

Sounds like he's ripped off the OP, who doesn't have much recourse. This is definitely bad guy/scammer behavior. I'm glad this thread is up to warn others.

I have seen someone report that despite friends and family, they still received a refund. I don't know if it is common or not, but you should still try.
