Scammed $886 ;'(

[buddy92]

Hey guys.

I recently sold something on eBay for the first time ever. I sold my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, for $300 ( + $5 standard shipping ). Being a first time user I didn't know someone would be able to pretend to be paypal at such a good level.

I was contacted by eBay to send the total ammount to this user, and I did. I was then contacted by paypal saying I had recieved a payment, and that I was to ship the item of ASAP and provide a photo/scan of the receipt+tracking number, and I did.

I then had a email saying I needed to pay a total of $350 USD to customs for them to release the parcel and once it was released I would recieve the funds immediatly. I didn't recieve nothing.

I call up paypal today, only to be told paypal DO NOT hold funds, and that I have none put in there, or going in there at all........not good. They ask for the email I recieved the emails from so I fordwarded it to them, and I was told paypal do not have a email of that kind.

So my question is, what can I do now? I have filled out a police fraud report form and provided all recipets that I had, but paypal and eBay seem to be of no help.

NOTE: The package was both registered, and insured.
