Until ebay put a clause that once an item is listed it cannot end we will have to 'play the system'.
In this case, I get screwed and the unsuspecting second bidder who is buying the can now will get burned as this guy is selling a stolen can at this point. This is the second time I have had to take a seller to court, its not fun but in the end we have to put a stop to guys like this.

Thanks for the update. I rest my case!! Yep, now there is no buyer protection thru Paypal because it was bought offsite. This seller was probably a good honest seller until all the offers starting pouring in with people saying they will send money immediately, with all the temptation he turned bad. Again ebay buyers not wanting to wait out an auction created another bad ebay experience.

Scott - I had a fellow that "changed his mind" after I sent him a very large sum of money for some signs....you can file a claim with paypal (even if the item was not purchased on ebay)...this will freeze his paypal account (or at least the funds)...I believe the seller will have to prove he sent you the item in order to have the funds released....(you may also have to do something on your end to "un-freeze the funds". You did the right thing by filing a police report...Best of luck to you...its never fun dealing with a crook!

New update!!!!
Seller relisted the can and I was the high Bidder but the seller did not want to sell to be because during the last auction an oldgasser emailed him after we struck our $2200 deal telling him it was $3500 can so friofrio backed out.
I paid for the can again, the ebay seller now scorned sold it to the second high bidder, another collector oldgas collector.
Another paypal claim for this one. I am not to happy with the other collector either...

???? Why would you bid and pay for the same can you got screwed on already, by the same seller that screwed you.
