Found out why I didn't get my money back. The weasel spent it... Anything $100 and under is not easily retrievable by paypal.
Bottom line - if I buy ANYTHING for around $100 w/paypal from someone I don't know, I'm paying $101.
Bottom line part II - and I hope the scammer is reading this - I got an address for Paypal's legal department to get the information on this new account. Should be interesting. I'm also requesting publicly AGAIN IP information on the scammer and 'smickers' from this board and their login info. I have no problem taking this to small claims court if need be.
Bottom line part III - $100 (ok, $96 and change) isn't hurting me, but I don't like the idea of someone getting away with this. I'm going to cause them 10x that much grief in any way I can. If they did it to me (and the rest of the guys here who got nailed) then it's happened before and will happen again. I want to try and stop it.
