rip off
That is why I seldom buy off ebay, especially if it is from the UK.I got ripped off for 2500. on a mill from the UK. The UK does nothing to police the internet. Nor does ebay, or pay pal, or the Federal Government. The FBI said if it were more money they would be conserned. Sorry to hear of your loss. I didn't know people in the states were pulling this crap also. I especially hate it when people from other countrys get ripped off by our people. Butterflycues

Scammed
I was scammed once with a cue on ebay where the item condition was not listed properly and the cue arrived in horrible shape, the pics looked fine but the finish was all bubbled, anyway--the guy wouldnt take the cue back and paypal/ebay did Sh$% about it----so I had the cue refinished and traded it at a loss. Actually I am currently in a dispute over a cue that was shipped without insurance, and I specifically paid for the cue to be shipped with insurance--it regardless was sent priority mail, without insurance, was not packed properly and the tube arrived empty (the end cap popped off during shipment and the cue is GGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE)
If I had paid for this cue with just paypal and my bank account, there would be no disputing it other than small claims court, however using citibank credit card they have a wonderful dispute team that does a good job at lobbying on your behalf over paypal's head.

So protect yourself, get a citibank card or another credit card with good buyer protection and use that with paypal and be protected, dont ever send a money order or cashiers check unless you trust the person, use an escrow service (there is a recent post about that--I hear, though never personally used, Proficient as an escrow, but Scot is a really nice guy to talk to)
..........ive run on enough for the morning!
