At issue is the effect of the growing problem of eBay fraud and its relationship to local law enforcement and the courts.

This book is the result.

Reader Reviews
The book takes you on one mans journey to seek justice over a eBay seller gone bad. Allows you to go step by step as to his actions and thoughts. Along with some humor and a very sage wife guiding him with her words of wisdom. You will see yourself in his writing when you found something perfect, paid for it and waited in anticipation for it's arrival. Then the realization nothing was going to arrive and you are on your own to retrieve any monetary recompense. The book is invaluable for anyone who finds themselves in the same position of fraud and wonders where to turn to next. With fortitude and overcoming many road blocks, this author found justice. It is certainly a cautionary tale. The protection you think you have with PayPal and eBay is not what you think. Don't get mad, be methodical and don't give up is this authors message.
