I have no idea. He requested payment by Paypal for the bass. I set up a new Paypal account. He provided an email address to pay to. I followed Paypals instruction and paid my Paypal via my credit card.
As I paid by Paypal and they say they offer protection, it is more to do with them. Otherwise I would not have bought the bass.
When I set this Paypal up on the night, it was set up so my credit card would be used to pay the Paypal bill.
I have little issue with them charging me as long as it offers protection.
It appears it doesn't.
Late last night I got am email, from the same email address as the seller.
The person stated he was the son of the seller and that the seller had died on Tuesday night.
The person stated he would get round to sorting out "loose ends" in a week or two.

This has SCAM all over it in massive red letters. Luckily it was via your credit card, you should be able to get it back as it was over £100.
Got a link to the original listing at all?
