XFUT to market.auction since this doesn't really belong in .lego (which is a
hierarchy for talking about things directly related to the LEGO company... this
clearly isn't)
but I think Corey is right. Just because that eBay propaganda is promoting THEIR
solution as perfect doesn't mean it's not right about the dangers of paying
using no recourse mechanisms like money orders or cash...
Unless you are down for a road trip or something you may be stuck with the loss.
File a fraud claim, yes, as you're the victim of postal fraud at this point, but
don't expect much.
