To whom?  I doubt the OP has any of the seller's actual information.

I'd chalk this one up to experience.  Happened to me once with a camera (via eBay and PayPal) so have just made sure not to use either service again.

One bad apple really doesn't spoil the whole barrel.

With most services, collection in person isn't covered - also with Shpock being created to just be a version of eBay with less fees, the service is never going to be as good.

A harsh lesson indeed, but unless Shpock have a generous change of heart I think you're out of luck

Indeed, I wouldn't trust a newbie user for high value items, but sellers with a decent track record of positive feedback are generally safe enough.
