    Hopefully one case that will end well, better still if they catch the little fraudster

    but to reiterate if anybody is unclear of the lesson here:
    1. do not in any circumstances pay money directly into a seller's bank account
    2. do not trust feedback completely
    and
    3. do not in any circumstances pay money into a seller's bank account

    somebody said it earlier: don't take paypal - alarm bells!!!!!!

    I'm glad this thread turned out well, I read the whole thing from start to finish and didn't once expect the OP to get his money back
