Thieve and Scammer Alert!!!!, by Forbidden Love on Nov 9, 2016 12:17:53 GMT 1, How comes you paid via friends if you didn't know who he was? or any reputable references through a forum.
Obviously I hope you get your money back, and hope he sees this to put correct.
Contact your bank if paid by an account, that might be your next best option. Might have more protection if paid by CC

Thieve and Scammer Alert!!!!, by NYart on Nov 9, 2016 14:07:45 GMT 1, If fees is what they want, next time try offering to add 3% to the total to cover the fees, and if they object that'd be a red flag! Hope you get it all sorted though in the meantime!

Thieve and Scammer Alert!!!!, by Schrödinger's Chat on Nov 10, 2016 6:41:15 GMT 1, Someone had bought a print from someone on ebay BUT they had agreed to buy outside of eBay and paid using PayPal gift, giving no protection. The seller had not sent the print or answered messages and had since relisted the print. Ouch!
The OP had named and shamed,maybe deleted because of privacy.

Oh no! Thanks for that. You actually cancel the transaction via the bank unless you added the funds beforehand. If you just sent the gift payment and it came directly out of the bank account it's covered as a transaction. I know because I thought I'd lost some money in a similar way previously but contacted the bank and they put the money back. You'd just need proof IF 'they' contested it so keep all messages and emails!

Thieve and Scammer Alert!!!!, by genehickory on Nov 10, 2016 15:08:02 GMT 1, Can we know the piece of art that was involved? I'm sure everyone on here would like a heads up as to a potentially dishonest seller... even if they can't be named , a "completed" search on eBay would give everyone info they need

Thieve and Scammer Alert!!!!, by Dive Jedi on Nov 10, 2016 18:57:47 GMT 1, I would never pay as a friend without knowing the person or having references on this forum.
Rather add 4% and pay normal to secure buyer safety.
