NOT OT but somewhat

Ebay purchases
I tried to buy a 944 part from sp500trader on Ebay. I sent a postal money order. He had a very good track record, then he closed down. I cant get my part or my money back from him. Does anyone know this guy? and if so how do I contact him now? Has he set up a new name? He apparently ripped off many people at the end.
Also, I lost the address of someone here who sent me some carpets/mats. Please send again..

I bid on some 944 gauges,
Im just afraid that he might try to get back on line again as a different name. He could just create a new fictious name and do it again.
Does anuone here know him?
Thanks for the support.

I hate to hear that someone got shafted, especially a "board member". I took a look at his feedback and the guy started having negative feedback that should have thrown a few flags as early as 3 Mar.

If they would take one of these bastards out behind the woodshed and:
a) Tar and feather and/or
b) Whip the living ***** out of him and/or
c) Tie him to a tree and leave and/or
d) Shoot him

we wouldn't have these problems!

I feel better now!!!
