Thanks for the advise guys. I knew the zero feedback was a big red flag, The rest of the listing looked so legit along with the buyers protection banner, I just fell for it. It is still early so maybe something came up on the sellers end. But I have the gut feeling it's not right. I will try to send more contact attempts to seller and inform him of intent to file a claim. I kind of already attempted to do it through ebay and it said the earliest I could start would be Dec. 20, I think it was.

I have used ebay quite a bit also and should have known better. I did have a problem with a seller several years ago and Pay pal eventually refunded my money. But that was only a $50 knife.

Does anybody know how to find an actual customer service phone # with ebay, It seems they make it hard to actually talk to someone.
