Well, the New Year didn't get off to a good start. We ordered two gaming controllers for son K via Ebay only to receive notification a couple of days later from Ebay that our seller was fraudulent. Unfortunately, we were unable to cancel our payment on Paypal but our credit card bank may almost certainly be able to reimburse us the US$29.98. It seems they are very familiar with these cases. Fortunately, it was not a very large amount. We will have to wait for the transaction to be processed on our credit card then contact the credit card's fraud department with our case. The lesson might be that if the price seems too good to be true, it is.
It occurred to me that as we get older we have to be even more vigilant of fraud as senior people become vulnerable targets. Is it that we get more trusting, similar to when we were children?
An update:
After all that I am pleased to say that Paypal was able to cancel our transaction after we did some more calling around, it was still pending. They say we should have the refund in about 3 days.
