Paypal doesn't have any money as Amex took it back from them. Joe called me immediately after I hung up from Amex and asked why the money had been taken from his account.

I am putting together my email for the detective which will include all written communication with Joe. This is ironic two days before Joe posted his items for sale he sent me a PM:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking at ztek mufflers on ebay, decided to check the list here for any info on them, ran across your thread, and realized ztek stole your install pictures and use them with their logo on ebay

Pretty crazy a thief tipping me off...

I would still place a complaint since Joe still took your money and didnt give it back. Amex or Paypal did.

Also, I hope this is not the case, but most cc companies reverse the charges and investigate. Then you will get a final decision in 30 days. If Amex got the money back from PayPal you are probably clear, but if not it may still be up in the air.

Hopefully, they told you they reversed the charges and this is a final decision.

Yes, Amex got it back because Joe called me to say it had been taken from his account. No other way he would have known.

Is there anyone else here who was taken, but did not receive any type of refund?

hadn't heard much from you all on this, I am sure everyone here is interested, certainly he could be charged with a crime by now eh?

I will be following up with the detective on Monday. We were waiting for paypal to complete their investigation. At this point I will be pressing charges. I may be required to appear at his hearing. I will be flying to Chicago to make sure this guy gets charged with a felony.

"We have completed our investigation of this case. We attempted to process a refund from the seller's account to your account. Unfortunately, the seller's account does not contain the funds necessary to cover this refund. We were able to recover $0.00 USD. We have taken action against the seller and are working to recover the remainder of your refund. We will contact you when we have more information. No further action is required of you at this time."

You gotta love the Rennlist spirit, though.

Even after all of this, you guys still tried to let him "make it right".

Fortunately, Joe is the exception, not the rule...

Yes, I was wondering also. I got a letter from Amex today saying that PayPal has not responded and the charge has been removed. PayPal still has until March to respond with proof that I received the seats...which I have not! Sandoval?

Update... I got a call from the Detective at the Chicago PD this morning. They have everything they need to prosecute this guy. He left him a VM this morning. If he does not respond within 48 hours a warrant for his arrest will be issued. Either way he committed a crime and he will be arrested. I will probably never see my money however I am going to make sure this guy sees some jail time. I may have to fly to Chicago to testify against him which I am more then willing to do.
