Dear Tyler Ransom,

After careful review, we have concluded our investigation into the Buyer
Complaint described below.

------------------------------
Complaint Details
------------------------------

Transaction Date: Aug. 9, 2004
Transaction Amount: -$360.00 USD
Case Number: PP-045-686-001
Seller's Name: Ali Giamanco
Seller's Email: alig868@yahoo.com

We have determined that the seller is at fault in this matter but regret to
inform you that we were unable to recover any funds from the seller's
account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recovery of funds
associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed.

If this transaction took place on eBay, we encourage you to contact eBay.
If the transaction was for an amount greater than $25.00 USD, you may
qualify for partial reimbursement under eBay's Standard Purchase Protection
Program. If this transaction took place on another auction site, we
encourage you to contact that site to see if they offer insurance or
dispute resolution.

Thank you for your cooperation and we apologize for any inconvenience this
situation may have caused. Please know that we will make our best effort to
recover the funds in question if they become available in the seller's
account in the future. Please also be assured that we will take appropriate
action against the seller. Such action may include issuing a warning, a
temporary restriction, or terminating the account. Keep in mind that PayPal
uses a number of factors to determine when to take action, including member
complaints. Due to privacy laws, we cannot discuss the details of any
action taken. We hope you understand our policy and that it assures you
that you are safe using PayPal.

Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address will not be
received and therefore, not answered.

Dear Tyler Ransom,

Thank you for contacting PayPal. I am sorry to hear about this
situation, and understand your frustration and concern over the issue.

As stated within the PayPal User Agreement, the PayPal Buyer Complaint
Policy does not guarantee recovery of your funds, and recovery is done
on a best effort basis. The amount refunded to you represents the total
amount PayPal was able to recover from the seller's PayPal Account.
Although the claim is closed, the dispute is noted in the seller's
account records, and the seller will need to complete the refund to you
if he/she wishes to continue the use of PayPal's service.
