Yes, if the story is true, it is unfortunate the seller got taken.

I myself would not have done business with someone with only
three feedbacks for the $ 1,000 + test gear unless the buyer
wired my money to the bank directly so there would be a paper trail.

If he says no then fine.

I've been using the ebay for four years and not one gotten burned,
always try to deal with established sellers.

Mr. Juan Lozano (XE2FLR),

You have committed fraud against Mrs. Thompson. She has tried every avenue
possible to resolve the illegal reversal of payment that you initiated
against her. This reversal has caused undue finical and emotional hardship
on this woman. I feel the need to send this OPEN letter to you letting
everyone know just what you did.

I thought everything on Ebay was on the up and up?

It is.

Except when it isn't.

Nothing they can do to stop every bit of it.

They can (and should) minimize it, and they should make sure that
transactions are tracable enough so that legal action can be taken if
needed.

They need to monitor, and shut down anyone who does something
improper.

They should really work to make certain that scamsters cannot make up
a new name and get back on the system.

There are issues with differing jurisdictions.

Happy trails,
