This may appear to be bragging, and I suppose it is. But, part of me is just shocked that I have a kid who is three and a half and has been reading for a few months now. I mean... really? Anyway, allow a dad to show off his son a little bit...

Hi, I think I'm a victim of an attempted fraud
2:46:13 PM jasondbarr08
on listing 230455518627.
2:46:23 PM Robert J.V
I'm sorry to hear that. Please tell me more..
2:46:53 PM jasondbarr08
Do I just ignore the guy who used my "Buy it now" option and relist it, or do I need to go through a process to report this, etc?
2:47:19 PM jasondbarr08
I received a falsified PayPal email to my email address.
2:47:39 PM jasondbarr08
I logged in to my PayPal account to look for a pending transaction, but there wasn't anything.
2:47:59 PM jasondbarr08
The guy said he paid me $50 to ship it next day Fed Ex, so I was kind of suspicious.

Hello, welcome to eBay Support. My name is, Nate. Please give me a moment to review your previous chat before we proceed or if you'd like, you could summarize it briefly for me..
2:50:07 PM jasondbarr08
Hi, Nate. feel free to take the time you need...
2:51:00 PM Nate L.
Thanks for waiting!
2:51:20 PM Nate L.
I understand your situation and I'm sorry that you've had such difficulty with this transaction.
2:51:50 PM Nate L.
I understand that it is disappointing when your high bidder fails to complete the sale. I will surely help you in resolving this issue.
2:53:05 PM Nate L.
I’ll be glad to provide you the steps that you can take to ensure that you're fairly compensated for the item and that the bidder is held accountable for his or her actions.
2:53:20 PM Nate L.
I will help you in providing the steps to get the Final Value Fee for this listing.
2:53:30 PM Nate L.
Also, with our Free Relisting feature you can relist your item and get your insertion fee (Listing fee) back if the item sells second time.
2:53:50 PM Nate L.
In this situation, you need to file Unpaid Item dispute through "Resolution Center" to receive your Final value fee.
2:54:22 PM jasondbarr08
I only sold the item yesterday. Do I need to wait 4 days, or is there some kind of special process?
2:55:06 PM Nate L.
Yes you will need to wait 4 days to file unpaid item case.
2:55:44 PM jasondbarr08
Okay, then what? I've never had to deal with this before. :)
2:55:44 PM Nate L.
what you can do now is try calling up the winning bidder directly by phone and remind the winning bidder to pay for the item.
2:56:05 PM Nate L.
I can guide you through the steps if you need me to.
2:56:42 PM jasondbarr08
That would be great, although I don't think he'll answer, being as he's trying to phish me. :)
2:56:49 PM jasondbarr08
Please, let me know the steps.
2:57:50 PM Nate L.

2:59:26 PM Nate L.
Once you have done these steps, please check your email, eBay will send you an email containing the seller's contact information, including phone number.
3:00:52 PM jasondbarr08
It said it's providing my contact detail to this other member, as well! I don't want this person to have my contact info!
3:01:10 PM jasondbarr08
Why in the world would it do that?
3:01:51 PM Nate L.
Then wait for a 3 more days and file unpaid item case from the resolution center.
3:02:06 PM Nate L.
And you may go ahead and relist after you have file the case.
3:02:53 PM jasondbarr08
No! I made the request you told me to, but there was NO mention of the fact that now my information has been sent to this person! Why would I want to send my information to a person who I believe is trying to defraud me?
3:04:01 PM Nate L.
It is important for our valued sellers like you to go through the Unpaid Item Process to allow eBay to track bidders that repeatedly back out of listings.
3:06:09 PM jasondbarr08
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm happy to go through the process. what I don't like is the fact that the process you told me to go through to get this guys' contact information sent MY CONTACT INFORMATION to him! Now a person who tried to defraud me has my phone number!
3:06:29 PM jasondbarr08
I need to speak with a supervisor. Can you connect me to your boss?
Please pardon the shaky camera work; it's tough to walk and film at the same time. I have to confess, I am shocked at how well the Skuut bike prepared him to go straight from that to riding a two-wheeler with no training wheels. Of course, if Daddy had used a little more common sense, he would have just taken out the bottom bracket on a regular bike, rather than buying a $100 Skuut. But, we got the new bike for only $8 at a garage sale (plus another $10 for new pedals). Anyway, this was the second time we went out with the new bike and he was just fine (once he got going). We're still working on stopping and starting without wiping out, but we'll get there.
So, last week we (my brother-in-law Jeff and I) took our kids skiing for the first time. Kelsey, Porter's cousin, is about three months older than him. They both had a blast. Here's some video from the trip:
He really likes this book.
I'm not sure how this got started, but he's pretty much dancing non-stop lately. He's even going to take tap lessons. He's been BEGGING for tap lessons.
