Whatever Ken...

yer money is gone... there's likely NOTHING you can do about it... Call your 'federal authorities'... I'll bet ya they laugh and retell the story of THAT phone call at EVERY x-mas party for the next 10 years...

You didn't go into eBay with a strategy like LH mentions above, so unless you can find one, ya might wanna just make due with your promise, and stay away from eBay... it'll probably be happier if you weren't there...

oh, and here's a quarter... call someone to come build you a bridge so you can get the fuk over it...
