well since I was mailing him nothing, I did not. However, I do have his paypal address and can possibly obtain it through that.

 

another thing... when you win an auction... you email them for payment instructions FIRST before doing anything... and you want the instructions for ALL the payment options offered by the seller... so if it's money order/check, they give you their addy, and paypal with paypal info, etc

 

well thanks for the ebay tutorial. He sent me an email telling me my payment options (by mail, paypal, etc.) and I told him that I would use paypal (thinking that I was safe and that I would be reembursed if anything went wrong) But hey, live and learn. It could have been alot worse. It could have been a $1000 item like my buddy. I just learned a valuable lesson, and now I can be one of the guys talking **** whenever someone gets ripped off.
