Ok guys, here’s where this stands. Where I left off here was that I agreed with Paypal that I will refund this deadbeat buyer in full but only if the amp is sent back to me, including pictures of the amp and it’s damaged tubes, as well as pix of the box. Paypal sent this offer to the buyer. The next day, my bank account was debited the full refund amount from Paypal. I called Paypal to get shipping or tracking information, they said they are working on it. A week later, nothing, so I call Paypal again. Same story,,”were workin on contacting the buyer to get him to return the merchandise”. A few days later, call Paypal again, this time speak with a supervisor,,,they say they have given it to their specialized team to ‘reopen the case’,, and for me to just be patient. A couple more calls to Paypal,,,same fucken thing,,,we are trying to get ahold of the buyer. I even offered to pay for the shipping. WTF is wrong with Paypal here? In the meantime, this deadbeat asshole completely deletes his Reverb account, most likely in an effort to evade any attempt of me contacting him thru the original transaction platform. Mind you, Reverb was no help whatsoever during any of this anyways. They pushed the whole thing over to Paypal and did nothing to help.
So yesterday, I decide to search eBay to see if any Mesa 395 PowerAmps were up for sale, or had been sold; and there’s this:

THIS IS THE GUY! THIS IS MY AMP! The fucker sold it on eBay 2 weeks after getting a refund!
There’s no question this is my 395. The scratches on the front match. The screw rash is the same on the rack ears, and the seller is in San Antonio, Tx!
So now, maybe I DO have some recourse here. Couldn’t I report the amp stolen to San Antonio police department? He didn’t take a picture of the serial # in his eBay listing(probably on purpose), but I have a picture of the serial #, and plenty of pics of the amp that show that they are one in the same. What do you guys think is the best way to handle this. I SO want to burn this guy for putting me thru this shit!
Sorry for the dissertation guys; any advice is greatly appreciated. Reverb has left me high and dry. Paypal has left me the same. Hopefully there is something I can still do here to get some justice!!
