Default Help needed!!!

well, I've bought a pair of S4 HID setup from this guy for $500 US and paid thru Paypal.
The problem is that he wouldn't reply as he promised to send it out by the end of the past week and he posted it on again for $600 (same setup from 2000 S4)
I've paid by MasterCard and don't know if he is a verified Paypal member. Of course I'd want to trust him but if I've really been scammed, I'd want to know if there's anything I could do to get my money back.

What should I do???

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Default You can check in your paypal account-

to see if he has accepted the money yet. If he hasnt accepted the money he may not know you sent it and you should be able to cancel it. However if he has already accepted the money and you cant get in touch with him you should notify paypal. I believe they will investigate these matters.

Thanks.
I'll have to see for another 2 or 3 days.
But it's kinda strange that he may have more than a pair of S4 HIDs.
Hopefully, no Audiworld man would do some horrible scamming job with no shame.

Default You should search for his name with the search function....

if he has a past of scamming then it will probably turn up some past deals that went bad. Also check his profile. If he has lots of posts he probably isnt going to mess around. However if he has only a few post you may want to be concerned. I know there are a few names that float around here that are known scammers and have ripped off quite a few AWers :-( However like I said searching his name will turnup any feedback on business. Good luck.
