dumb is a harsh word...

i would say this is s newbie/rookie mistake. to learn from.

that is all.

nothing more will come from it by thinking you have a bats hell of a chance of getting any return, so move forward and realise  the pains of selling on ebay using fiat are hurting many merchants. let alone bitcoin traders just using paypal as a payment processer. then you will see the benefits of bitcoin that things such as bitcoin chargebacks dont exist,are just one of the reasons to love bitcoin even more.

We are on topic, your dumb, and didn't research before doing a transaction you got scammed, now your mad and want justice even thou you messed up.

Please don't get Stockholm syndrome and forget the scammer is in the wrong here.

To OP: It is very hard to chase the thief so it's best to forget about it. If you want to chase you should analyze where the outputs went and hope he send to some address you recognize and then work your way back from there. It's going to be some real detective work though.

You call me a troll and your ignore button is darker than mine LMAO great logic, be careful what you say you may get banned again ;) Don't worry about me and what I do, I am a Millionaire obviously I know what I am doing LMAO

oooh so being a millionaire is a license for being an asshole. Now i understand, pardon my mistake.

no, you sir are unhelpful troll, he was scammed, sure - it is a bad idea to use paypal for anything more than $10 ebay purchase, but this is no more than lack of knowledge

if he will ever do that again that would be stupid

as for OP - if you are dealing with a pro chances for finding him are very small, 1st make list and print screens of anything you have - address, email, phone number etc. etc. then google a lot ;)

there is hardly any way to trace bitcoins, all he needs to do is to send those to himself couple times
