    almost two weeks ago I put another bunch of bills on Ebay to auction off. everything went smooth all except one sale. The guy payed with paypal the next day. no problem. I huried and got the bills he bought in the mail. about four days later the package came back saying there was no such address. I checked his address on ebay with the one I used and it matched. So I emailed him several times and called the number he gave and it always went to voice mail. about a week went by without any luck trying to reach him for a good address. then yesterday I got an email from him. here it is " sorry but i have lost my house. please just keep it. refund my money if you want or just keep it and the item. i just have so much more to deal with right now". now I just could not keep this poor guys money. No way, sounds like he needs every cent he can get alot more than I do. I refunded him using paypal and the account was closed. No address, no phone, no way to reach him. I emailed him back asking how to get the money back to him but no reply. no such email address per maildemond. anyone out here have any sugestions on how to reach this guy and get his money back to him? I'm in texas and he is CA. I feel it's just not wright keeping this guys money. sounds like his luck has just turned WAY south on him. thanks for any suggestions. CR4026.

    Sounds like you have done what you can. He may set up a forwarding address so you may want to mail it and see if it comes back? He may contact you at a latter date to try to get a refund?

    Good Luck

    yeah i think you have done all you can at this point. most ebay seller's wouldnt have gone as far as you have.

    I had a friend that lost every thing , tried to reach him many times , when I finally saw him a few years later ,he told me he was on the streets by day & shelters at night ,he also said he was so busy just trying to survive , that he couldn't think of anything else . Couldn,t afford any money for a phone call let alone a PO box .
    Seems you did every thing you could ,if you still feel bad give it to a charity for the homeless .

    Don't worry about it you've done more than most people would have. Just stay positive, I'm sure he pull get things pulled together and be able to get in contact with you later on.

    Yup, I'd keep the money on hand just in case he contacts you.

    Have to agree you have done about as much as you can given the circumstances :)

    Better keep that $$$ on hand. If he ever called you on it, its better to be prepared than not.
    Document, document and document it again!!
