I still don't understand why you paid $110 when he said they were $80 each.

Just did a search on WhitePages.com.au, and it turns out that not a single person in Sydney has the surname Tsakalos.

Either:

a) They have an unlisted, private number.
b) They don't live in Sydney, but opened the bank account in Sydney.
c) They used fraudulent identification to open the account. (unlikely, but possible)
d) They are relying on the fact that most people will use internet banking to transfer the money, which does not rely on the account name being correct. Using this method, you could send money to account name Bob Brown, and as long as the BSB and account number are correct, the money will go into Simon Smith's account no worries. If this method of fraud is used, then anybody who attempts to deposit the money in-branch will be told that the account name is wrong.

Further to my previous post, a shitload of Tsakalos's live in Queanbeyan.

Probably not the person we are looking for, but the search did pull up one C listing:

Tsakalos C A
5 Spendelove St Queanbeyan 2620
(02) 6297 2324

BTW, you can request the sellers phone number and address through eBay. I am not willing to divulge my real details to the seller using my primary eBay account, however I'm going to set-up a dodgey eBay account now to obtain the sellers details. If this goose actually used his real details, they could be useful in tracking him down.

No he can't, because he never bidded and the auction has been removed. Besides, if someone sets up an account for scamming they're not going to put their real details in a form to Ebay.

Have you bothered contacting the Police? Either it's a scam, in which case they'll probably refer you to the ACCC or something, or the PS2s are stolen, in which case they might be interested themselves. Or they'll probably just laugh at you.

Yeah, just thought of that a while after I posted Hercy. Buying items outside of eBay from anyone with a feedback rating of less than 10 is asking for trouble.

Good luck 20CentFun in getting your money back, but this may conclude to be a relatively expensive life lesson.

20CentFun, if you send out $5 to the 10 people on this list and then add your name to the bottom of the list and send it out to 10 more people, within 2 months you'll have over $80,000!!! I did it and now I have retired!!!! and I'm 21!!!!!!

Most of us have been ripped off in some way or another, the only difference here is that 20CentFun was brave enough to admit it.

Give him a break.

Although we would like to know how the story ends.

The biggest difference here is that 20CentFun asked us all if he should buy from this guy, 2398472938794734 users responded with 'no, he's dodgy, don't do it', and he did it anyway and got done over.

Ok 20centfun, I will sell you one of my PS2's.

But I have to get back the money I spent on postage. So I will sell you an unopened PS2 for $110.

Email me and I'll give you my bank details.
