This is unfortunate, but for you, it's a fact of life. > I've had a PayPal account for over 10 years, and in that time I have purchased electronic media, like *.pdf files, which is what Jacek is selling, quite a few times. The payment arrives in the seller's PayPal account, and after a few days (as opposed to a few months, as appears to be the case in this situation) there is zero chance of the funds being unavailable to the seller. Usually, professional sellers of electronic media have the process automated, sending an email to the purchaser, containing the URL for download, and a unique login key/password, which is good for a limited amount of time. Jacek may be a good guy, and suspecting a scam is a sensible strategy, but a responsible seller, who had received payment, would be wise to see that his/her paying customers were well taken care of. I sell artwork on my dotcom domain, which is a physical entity, as opposed to electronic media, and which requires shipping, as opposed to electronic delivery. I receive both genuine and scam requests for purchase. It's pretty easy to tell one from the other. - -- - -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ .
