<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2109130, member: 27832&quot;]You&#039;ve just sent a stranger (say) $100 via PayPal for merchandise. Now, he says the item is no longer available, and for your trouble, he&#039;ll send you a <i>check</i> for $120, also eating his own eBay and PayPal fees. What&#039;s wrong with this picture?</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you cash a check for $100 from a stranger? If he offered to write you a $120 check for $100 cash, would that make you feel <i>more</i> confident about taking the check?</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;If he really was robbed,&quot; his best &quot;shot at making it right&quot; is to <i>give you an immediate PayPal refund</i>. If he wants to compensate you for your trouble, he can <i>then</i> send you a little something extra in the mail. I&#039;ve tried and tried, but I can&#039;t think of <i>any</i> above-board reason for sending you a check rather than a PayPal refund (and communicating about it outside eBay).</p><p><br /></p><p>Contact eBay about this <i>tonight</i>. He may be trying to scam others, and the longer it takes anyone to contact eBay, the longer he can get away with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
