ok.. i remember i was helped by alotta members on this website when i asked a question last time.. so let me try again.. here's my story.. i purchased an item on ebay with "buy it now" and paid the seller instantly.. everything was going well until i got an email from ebay saying the seller is suspended from ebay, and the auction (of the item i won) is no longer available. i tried to contact the seller to see if he's going to send the item, but he never responded to my emails. i paid the seller through paypal right after i bought the item so i thought i'd definitely get my money back but i couldn't file a claim both on ebay and paypal with error messages saying "the item number you entered is not valid".. i assume i can't even file a claim because the seller is suspended from both ebay and paypal. i tried to contact ebay and paypal numerous times by email but it seems like they don't want to bother investigating a suspended ebay seller.. i haven't gotten a single reply from them, and it's been like a week. i'm getting very upset at this point and don't know what i should do. the only information i have is the seller's ebay name, his email address, the transaction number for paypal, and the item number for ebay. o btw i'm using my bank account for paypal. i'd appreciate if you guys can help me with this or tell me what i should do based on your experiences.. thanks for reading..
