I bought a diamond from the vegasgoin guy, aka dmilton (i assume as the sales page was exactly the same). I ended up filing a paypal claim and it was immediately escalated and after the waiting period I got my money back no problem. I also recently sold a personal phone on ebay and paypal is holding my funds until the time has past for a claim to be filed. it's sort of annoying, but seeing how the system worked to get me reimbursed, i understand.

Also, I found the person that had the paypal acct for the vegasgoin transaction and spoke with her father and emailed with her. She is a 20ish year old mormon girl who had her identity stolen. She said she has all the different names being used on ebay with her identity and that the FBI and state are investigating.

On another note, I ended up buying a Diamond off Ebay from a power seller with 6 years of history and like 2000+ transactions and 99.8 satisfaction. Phone came straight from him - i received it 2 weeks ago. Interesting thing, he's now no longer a registered user - just like that. I haven't had any problems, the phone was brand new in original packaging and never opened. I just wonder why after being a long time ebayer he was pulled?
