I always wait for the PayPal money to go in to my bank account before sending anything out personally! Lots of people learn this the hard way

why didn't you collect the money as you delivered it
as initially he wanted me to send it to him and then phoned this morning and asked if i could drop it to his brothers house in basildon as he was going visiting today and was afraid it might get damaged in the post, the bloke must be local as he directed me there from to far away to not know the area

i hope his family have good house insurance for when i get my hands on him

If he had access to the place (assuming its a home and not a business) then surely he either owns the property or is mates with someone who does?

Hang about in covert ops style after kicking the door in and see who turns up, if its not the bloke run over and grab whoever he is, shove him in the back of the covert van and scare the shit out of him whilst asking who the feck the bloke who robbed you was.

He'll fess up if he knows the bloke.

Stick paintstripper across his cheeks after tieing him up, Ł10 says he starts talking after 10 seconds.

thats the thing, he spoke to one of the neighbours about something as if they knew him or somebody that lived there, my dad said the house was completly empty, kitchen ripped out.looked like a new house on the outside but looked like it hadn't been lived in for a while on the inside...and repo'd..........he must be local to know the house

he is probably laughing at the moment, thinking how smart he is.........don't think he will be laughing when i take him to the edge of life.......and i bet he pisses himself...they usually do when they think they are going to die

sounds like he may be selling the house. if so make it unsellable.
im sure if u cause enough disturbance then the neighbours who know him will call him and let him know his house is in 100 different bits. I'm sure he'll turn up then.

good luck finding him

I posted this on your other post mate - hope it helps:

2) If this is a MSN addressget someone, somehow to send him a file - preferably a largish one so you have time to do the following:

When the file transfer is in progress open up a dos screen (Start > Run > type in CMD and click ok

Once the dos screen has appeared type in:

Netstat -N

Providing the direct connection with the other person is still in progress there IP address will be shown along with a few others! take a not of em all icon_smile.gif

Then you can trace the service provider and report the little fucker

3) My favorite one this!!

If you know someone with webspace its a piece of piss!

Upload a new file to the webserver. Make it a pic icon_smile.gif

Dont tell anyone about this pic or give anyone the URL for it.

ONLY give this person the url. Once they click the link there IP is logged by the webserver.

You then get the IP and can trace em from there icon_smile.gif

Also handy if you know someone who works for a large ISP like BT or something icon_smile.gif

hope this helps

I`m tempted to use bank money transfer on e bay now.
Pay pal takes 3% for no protection for the seller!!
When i make a payment it now only goes via an e cheque, taking 9 days to clear.
Takes another 5 days to transfer your money in via paypal.
Its getting worse!

you have to remember how many people use paypal and have no problem, iv sold a few things on ebay and had no probs with paypal but the answer realy is wait til the money goes into your account b4 handing over any goods..
