I think that i have just been "had" by one of these ebay fraudsters. Exactly as described in your article, the seller talked us into paying an amount direct into their account and have now disappeared off the face of the earth. Ebay have been informed and so have the police but nobody seems to be doing anything about it!
These people can easily be traced via the bank account we have even spoken to their bank ourselves, but of course they will not give any info about the account holders to anyone but the police. I cannot stress how frustrating this all is!
