OP put on your big boy panties and take the loss as a learning experience on how not to try to screw others, because nothing's better than a scammer getting scammed.

Thanks Pete. I am sorry you are dealing with this. I have done several off-ebay deals and countless BST deals here on Net54, using PayPal FF, and I get nervous every time. So far so good, as I find people here are generally honest (they may some dumb stuff) and transactions via BST work. I would return the reprint and hope for the refund.

Perhaps the silver lining is no one else here will get burnt by this guy and his business will be hurt bc people stop dealing with him.

The OP stated that this is valuable lesson on trusting non net54 transactions. Let's be clear this is also a non eBay transaction.
I hate when people always blame eBay for actions of their own.

If you messaged him thru eBay, you should know that it's strictly against eBay policies to do a deal off the radar using their messaging system. If you contacted him outside of eBay, then fine.

Once you go that route, both you and the seller are pretty much on their own.

I don't think any outside sources will help you in this case. Your best bet is to try and work it out with the seller. But, if he has done this in the past, then he will do it again.

No fault of eBay in this situation.
