Three cheers for Judge Bray! I too have been the victim of a fraudulant seller on e-Bay, however neither e-Bay, nor their arrogant stepchild Pay-Pal seems to care;their policies are a joke!
I can only hope that the bad publicity in the U.K. will result in some reform of e-Bay and Pay-Pal policies, but I am not planning on holding my breath.
Although I do continue to use Pay-Pal, I now will no longer pay directly from my account for anything over the sum of USD $20.00, as that is all I am willing to risk.
If you are going to spend a significant amount of money for an item on e-Bay, use your credit card through Pay-Pal, that way, you have recourse to your credit card company should something go wrong.
