Stolen names

Use a credit card with PayPal for domains. You can get the CC company to fight your case then, and instigate an immediate refund. And PayPal HATE CC chargebacks.

I put a comlaint in with paypal as I hadn't received a book via ebay and they've just replied saying that they found me and favour but couldn't give me back my money as the person I paid had no money in their account.

haha, so much for their protection. I will start a credit card charge back, I'm sure the credit cards must get sick of paypal eventually!

Paypal are a nightmare and offer no protection for the selling. A friend of mine a few years back was selling a �1k sat nav system. The buyer paid via paypal and then asked if he could collect as he was localish; seeing no problem in this he agreed and the buyer came to collect. A few hours later the money was removed from my friends paypal account because the buyer claimed he never bought! Paypal offers no protection and wouldn't accept any payment via them, use bank transfer!

Use a bleedin' credit card and then compalin to your CC company.

UK Credit Card companies can be a-holes about chargebacks/complaints. (From experience).
US Companies slightly better.

However, just say Consumer Credit Act - Credit Card company equally liable. Court.
Then that soon sorts things round.

Surely the answer is simple?

You make sure you're the highest bidder in all of the auctions, pay by paypal, & then once transferred to you you initiate a chargeback

Of course the sneaky git will probably remove all money from his paypal account first - or maybe not if he does this regularly..

Then leave him negative feedback.

dashu, i think you have the wrong end of the stick. i was the seller, the victim.

Basically i wanted advice on how to recover my names and get the perpetrator of this theft arrested or punished.

Regardless of the quality, value or cost of the names I am thoroughly pissed off. I want to get back my property and make sure he never does the same to anyone else.

I spent time choosing, buying, advertising and selling my names. Therefore take this whole thing personally, maybe a bit too personally.

Thanks for everyone writing with their tips on what to do in the future, I guess the solution is simple. Be careful who you do business with, where and by what method.

I know you were the victim, I think perhaps you got the wrong end of the stick.

What I'm saying is give him a taste of his own medicine - register an ebay account, make sure you're the highest bidder, pay by paypal, wait until he's transferred the names to you & then claim your money back from paypal.

Then leave him negative feedback too.

sorry dashu, i see!

Don't forget though that if receiving funds by Paypal, you should always withdraw them to your bank first, and if possible, wait until they arrive in your bank; as far as I'm concerned, money in a Paypal account isn't yours until it's in your bank, as Paypal do things like this all the time, there is, and has never been any protection as a seller!
