At this point it's not about the money, it's the principal. I think about all the people who may have took their last few dollars to purchase one of the players off of ebay, to later find that they had been robbed. Not only that, but to also find that both Ebay & Paypal, have turned their backs on them.

People should check eBay's/Paypal's policies -before- bidding / using their services, and ask questions. Its only after they get shafted that they realize that eBay / Paypal are scamming SOB's themselves, that lull you in to a false sense of security.

Since Paypal is scamming you (by making you pay to prove your fraud yourself, when they are more than aware of the organized fraud of mp4 scams), you should have scammed Paypal. You should have just told them you never received your player. Most seller's don't ship via tracking, especially if you don't pay for that. In which case.... you make Paypal's unjust rules work for you. It would be the seller that has to prove his case to Paypal, and if he can't provide a tracking no. to show it arrived.... too bad! He lose. You win. You get refund + free hacked player.

Guys, do you think that maybe Oprah, Rush or Bill O'Reilly would be willing to listen to our story?

Of course. Rabid conservative republican figureheads are all about looking out for the little guy. I'm sure that if you called up their producers and told them the story of your hacked MP4 player that you bought on eBay, they would cancel Schwarzenneger to get you on their show.

I tell you If I had the money, I would lease a billboard in Atlanta, and a couple other large city's detailing the facts about ebay and paypal.

Unfortunately, the people in the rest of the world would never see it. How about writing to ic3.gov or your representative in congress about eBay having to authenticate its sellers and take responsibility for the consumer crime that goes in within its doors. That costs less.

Until we can get to Oprah, or one of the other's, I guess we will just stick together and continue to hit them where it hurts. One penny at a time.

They're hurting all the way to the bank.... The only way to get eBay to cave is to get the government/media on their backs, big time.
