I wish I would have read your post before paying myself.
Now I have escalated a paypal claim and informed paypal that he may be operating under UK ebay account "fatboy5354" as you suspect.

That, "fatboy5354" account is still active.
I suggested they investigate that account and freeze the related paypal account if they can connect the sellers.

Man, I've got to read these forums before I ever buy another chipod.
Thanks for letting me know. I had exactly this scenario in my mind when I bought the player. I would buy it, then the seller would skeedaddle with the loot and never send out a damn thing to anyone, and I'd see "NLARU" on his account. I guess that explains why TAMAINC never pushed that hard to get me to pay for the auction I won.

Glad you were able to get a full refund from Paypal. I wonder if all those people I emailed who bought the same player off this seller and told me they were putting their blind faith in "her", have seen refunds as well, or if they've gotten royally stiffed. I see a bit of a pattern in my Paypal disputes and that of others, where when a seller is definitely tagged as a crook due to many complaints or suspension from eBay, you're more likely to get your money back (providing Paypal froze the account in time). Of course eBay's pretending FAT5434 is not related to TAMAINC, it looks like.
