Sorry mate I don't follow, your now comparing a bank with ebay? Do you know for sure that your bank covers you for cyber theft, most don't. Meaning your password is your responsibility, if the moneys not in your account, it's what's commonly referred to as gooonnneeeeee.
I can only go on ebays terms and conditions, which this seller agreed to hence why he is selling things on ebay.com.au
Sooooooo quick question...... Once the refund is showing in PayPal, does that then get transferred back into the original account the money came from?
And yes I also had a good hard think about taking it further but at the end of the day, I just got bored and couldn't be bothered. Would I do it again.... Hell yeah in a heart beat, coz you just never know, you may just be lucky enough to get it.
To all of those who are still at it, good luck to you. To all of those who bowed out and got their coin back well done. And to those of you who didn't "swoop" like a seagull after some chippies, get off your moral high horses.
And ET no way having a dig mate, just liked your coin of phrase so used it![]()

Wait...I think it get it now, in your scenario of the hacker hacking my online banking details and stealing my money, the hacker is played by this ebay seller, as he's the one that takes the money. I am still the victom because i've still had the money taken off with nothing in return. haha.
But in seriousness, banks don't cover cybertheft, thats why they have daily transfer limits, activation codes usually sent via sms if you want to add a new external transfer account, the fact that you can't change you phone number or postal address online. You need to go into a branch for that and show them ID.
So really the only way a hacker could transfer money anywhere but my usual external transfer account numbers (who would all happily refund the money) would be via Bpay....how many hackers are going to use bpay....
I.E there's enough security built into your online banking that you need not stay up late guarding your password and access code, rest easy my friend.
That is unless ofcourse you mean the hacker hacked into the bank and stole money, which wouldn't bother you either.
