Camcorder Offer Turned Into Dealer List, $135.67 Withdrawn

On October 24th I received an email from one of Ebay's power sellers offering a brand new camcorder for 39.95, free US shipping, even courier service was offered. I had no intentions of buying that day, but gee it was an offer I could not refuse. I followed the links to buy "now" or someone else might come along and swoop it away (as stated by seller), so I bought it, so I thought.

I was led to a link requiring my credit card information, which by the way was already registered with Pay Pal, I submitted my credit card information, finished camcorder purchased.

Shortly later I checked my PayPal account, I was shocked! Pay Pal had withdrawn 39.95 from my bank account, plus an addition 95.72, total of 135.67. I then discovered that what this Ebay "Star Seller" was actually selling is a list of wholesale dealers for the product to be downloaded on-line. The 95.72 are shipping charges at European Rates when seller lives in the USA, as do I.

I immediately contacted Pay Pal who could have stopped this fraudulent withdrawal from my personal checking account, they did nothing because they stand to profit from this transaction.

I am absolutely devastated over this down right, no question about it, stealing money just because they can because people have placed their trust in Pay Pal's promise to protect consumers and sellers alike.
Due to my research trying to discover ways in which to get my hard earned money back, I discovered that I am far from the only victim of Pay Pal/Ebay.

I hope that if anyone out there reading this and would like to help those of us who have been ripped off by pay Pal has some real good advise in regards to recovering stolen money from buyers on Ebay, your advise is more than welcome.

Maybe a class action lawsuit is well over due.
