Our records show that you were a bidder on this item. We recently removed this
listing and have suspended the seller's trading privileges. Due to privacy
concerns we will not be able to share further details related to this seller.

If someone claiming to be the seller asks you to complete a transaction outside
of eBay, we strongly recommend that you ignore the request. Transactions for
items listed on eBay that are completed outside of the eBay marketplace are not
covered by the Buyer Protection services offered by eBay and can be highly
indicative of fraud.

If you have not sent payment to the seller, we urge you to not proceed with the
transaction.

If you have already paid, you may wish to pursue recouping your funds. Some
steps you might take include:

1. Ask the seller for a refund
2. If you paid by check, ask your bank to stop payment
3. If you paid by credit card, contact your credit card company's security
department
4. If you have made a payment by money order or wire transfer, you may contact
that company for further information at 1-800-325-6000 (Western Union), or at
1-800-926-9400 (Money Gram)
5. If you paid with PayPal, review the Buyer Complaint Process at:

program at:

My flatmate has to do a chargeback and they found the other person 'guilty'. They had good eBay feedback then when my flatmates goods didn't arrive, it seems neither did other peoples and they had about 5 feedbacks the same day.

Paypal said they'd recover the money IF this person topped their paypal account up or were paid through it again.

Nothing yet, been about 1 month

This seller might just be genuine but has breached some of ebays policies on vouchers, you may well get them with no hassle...
