Credit Ebay purchase, he got paid - I didn't receive my item Virninia

I have been had by eBay.

The eBay advertisement was:
"Quark Xpress 5.0 FULL install for Mac & PC. Special Promotion! Buy now for only $450"

I paid (through Paypal) $450 US for a Macintosh version. After two weeks I received a pirated PC copy with no software serial numbers or verification codes.

The vendor said (via email) that he would come clean and send me the proper software. He didn't. When I complained, Ebay and Paypal both told me to try and resolve the dispute with the vendor. A week later they both suspended the vendor, Joe Puffenbarger from their sites.

Two weeks later when it didn't look like a resolution was going to happen and it became painfully obvious that I had been ripped off I contacted eBay and Paypal again. Guess what? After 30 days, they don't offer any protection. Sounds like a catch-22 situation. They just told me to sit tight until their protection period was up.

I have only purchased on eBay for 1 week and this was my only purchase (out of three) over $10. If I had a lot of money I wouldn't have resorted to trying to save a few bucks purchasing the software I need for my small business through this method. Now I can't even afford to make a down payment on the real thing.

I am very disappointed in how these corporations conduct business.
