If so, I think they currently offer $200 in Ebay purchase protection and $2000 for EBay Partner Providers (I do not think that is what they are called, I need to re-read the T&C's) I suspect this has happened to many people. I am just glad I found out with a $25 purchase. I now only use PayPal with highly trusted vendors like godaddy.com. Was this an Ebay purchase Chris?

I used ebay to buy a nice set of BOSE speakers for $795, great deal i thought. I paid via paypal for "the protection" what a joke and waited for my speakers. 2 weeks went by, I asked the seller for a tracking number, he provided a bogus one along with a poor excuse. 3 weeks went by and still nothing, I filed a complaint with paypal and they began the "investigation". With no feedback from the seller I escalated to a claim thinking, great I must be covered. I won't lose $795 plus shipping. Well I was wrong also, after they found in my favor they then went onto tell me that they could not reclaim the money back due to it already being removed from the sellers account. I was out $795 with no recourse, I did a little digging and found out who it was i purchased from but he was in New York and I was in California, small claims was a lot of work for this. Finally I resigned myself to the fact that the paypal protection is not worth the screen its printed on.
