Unless i am mistaken this was all done via the internet (there starts the problems) and you have never met the person who purports to be Ashley Khan . Until the details of the paypal are known and the bank account linked to that will give you a starter of the true identity , You google ashley khan and you get a female for starters  :innocent:

If details are easy to find on the internet be assured that is where scammers get their identities from

Very true mate.

.

@OP, I'm pretty sure you can at this stage request the details of the seller from Paypal for contact purposes. :happy2:

Therein lies the next problem , Paypal cannot disclose the identity of their account holders

Really?  I've had sellers details in the past, after disputes, not sure if this was through ebay or paypal, I can't remember.  Perhaps it was ebay...

Not Chaka Khan's brother? Or perhaps a double-barrelled surname Khan-Steele?

Both would be a breach of Data Protection Act , suspect it was Ebay

That's a fairly nice area mate..If he genuinely lives there.

Who leaves £800 alloys lying around in their garden anyway

Seen a thread on here aswell about a stolen RS3, Hopefully not linked.

Hope you get your money back, sickening stuff.

"Sorry I haven't had a chance to email you all day, never guess what happened mate, left the alloys in the garden overnight, some thieving pricks gone and robbed them
LMAO Great story that.

Had a similar thing once, my mate wanted a Discovery bullbar on ebay, he messaged the guy and came to a private price until the seller realised that was too cheap and asked for more than his ebay buy it now price. My mate took a stance and asked me to 'buy it now' on my account which I did. That evening I got a brilliantly elaborate and sincere email explaining of his joy that his item sold, but to then realise that some pikey stole it from his garden, so he had to issue a refund.
Minutes later my mate got an email asking if he still wanted it!
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.

I think he just upgraded himself to all out thief as he has not responded to an email for 5 days now.

PayPal deadline in two days.

I f*ckin hate being ignored when people should just do the courteous thing and respond. A simple "yes I stole your money and used it to cash flow my next purchase" would suffice.

Just admit it you lying sh*te. Pretty pissed off now.
