I wish I was in France. I would purposely win an auction on one of them and pick up locally (in person) just so I could personally beat his ass to a pulp!

Heh, I've had very similar thoughts.

Looks like I got scammed on eBay, paid for 3 SP20Es using BTC (I know, I know..) because the seller had 100% feedback and 173 transactions. Stupid me for thinking that was enough to trust him.

Here are the 3 units I "bought". Beware of him.

I'm feeling real fucking dumb right about now. Guess contacting eBay will be pointless, since I paid for them with BTC and have nothing but our messages as proof.

You should report even if you think it will not matter. You can demonstrate to eBay that you somehow paid him and you must have a conversation history to show in case they ask.

I will report him, and I do have the conversation history. Going to give him a bit more time, then call eBay if I don't hear from him.

Was about to suggest he may be waiting for 100 confirmations on the transaction, but that should have been done by now, so you really have no reason to delay notifying ebay. Also, all the listings say the item is in Israel, but the postage is by USPS. It may be that he's inexperienced in putting up such items for sale on ebay or that he's just carrying out a well orchestrated, carelessly executed scam! Either way, if you made your BTC payment over 2 days ago, get onto ebay now!

Yeah, it's got 400+ confirmations. I guess you're right, no point in delaying the inevitable. Time to call eBay.
