Hey, I have a question and I really didn't know where to put it.
I bid on and won an item on ebay. On the item's description, the seller said that the only method of payment is paypal (which is completely fine with me- that's how I was going to pay).
After I won, I logged in to pay for my item and I find out that the seller is NOT accepting paypal anymore and the seller's account didn't work. I used ebay's messaging system to contact the seller and basically he told me that paypal "messed with them" and they will only be accepting MO's.
Problem: Guy has NO FEEDBACK. The only reasons why I bid on it was because 1.) my boyfriend needs the part for his motorcycle and 2.) Paypal will protect my purchase. I looked up some stuff unders Ebay Motors and it said that if it had the Paypal picture on the page, that they were required to accept cc-Paypal (which I was going to use).
Question: What are my options? I do not want to send over $100 out in a money order to someone who has no feedback. This is extremely fishy. Am I still held accountable and do I have to pay?
Thanks.
