chad, same here, i am out 50$, there are no funds in his paypal account to get our money back.
and jon, yes, you are right, one can get ripped off if you dont have any funds in paypal to cover you. paypal does NOT guarantee any recovery if the individual does not have funds in his paypal account.
there are some other ways that they could try and recover (??) according to their email, but this is private and not disclosed.
its a pity though, i have bought several items on HTF and in so many years, this is the first time i have been scammed, this forum has excellent members, all of whom are a joy to deal with.
shame on you dave brogli!

Yeah, that does seem kinda odd, especially since he's a long time HTF member w/ 1000-plus posts. Maybe something unfortunate happened to him to prevent him from completing these transactions (and responding to messages). Stuff like that can happen.
As to how PayPal works, I wonder if you pay w/ a credit card (like AmEx), whether your credit card company would be able to force PayPal to pursue harder (or eat the losses) so you don't have to be out the $$$ yourself -- I would think "yes", and certainly, that's why I usually pay w/ my AmEx card, not cash from my bank account, when I use PayPal, especially for eBay transactions. AmEx (especially) seems very good about protecting the buyer in such instances -- and I have been able to recover $$$ in the past from eBay purchases that did not work out.
And for similar reasons, I never use debit cards to buy stuff. Things happen, and you're out the $$$ (plus potentially overdrawing your account) if you use a debit card. Your bank isn't gonna do a whole lot for you when things happen. But w/ a credit card, the credit card company is more likely to do more for you (and also protect you from other consequences like overdrawing your bank account).
Also, if you use PayPal and need to link a bank account to it, I'd recommend only using a bank account that you don't normally use for anything other than PayPal in case something goes wrong and they start drawing $$$ from your bank account for unexpected reasons.
Anyway, hope things work out ok in the end for all of you...

Guys, I'm going to bump this thread once since I'm partially in the same boat. I agreed to buy 5 BluRay's from another thread at the end of January and I did receive 3 of them 10 days later with what sounded like a reasonable excuse for the missing 2 discs. There was a note with a promise to refund the difference for the missing discs. Since then I've not been able to contact Dave either here or at his PP email address.
Have any of you heard anything from Dave in the last month?

Well, honestly I'm NOT out for blood and the $20 is minimally important at this point in life. (Forgive the typo)
Dave has been a part of this forum almost as long as I have and I've spoken with him in threads back and forth for a long time. I think there are some extenuating circumstances involved and honestly I just want to know what's up. If he has a sick kid and med bills or his house is about to be taken away, I'd forget about the whole thing if I just had a clue.

I amended the above post as I made a huge typo that my original proofread missed.
I agree on many levels that there are some funny red flags here, but ..... Some odd things with the recent for sale posts is a lot of things got sent out right at the end of January and the total for the other sales post can't be much more than $100 so there has to more to the story than someone out to rip people off.
Is he in a situation where he can't get online? Embarrassed? Ill? For now he still gets the benefit of the doubt after 7+ years.
