Hi All

I recently put my trust in someone, and sold some stuff on their behalf to help them out. I was advised by them that all items had been posted, and I transferred the payments over to them (via withdrawing from Paypal to my account, then bank transfer to theirs).

Recently, it has become apparent that the items were infact not posted, and people have been putting in Paypal disputes, and in some instances going straight ahead and leaving negative feedback. I take full responsibility as it was me that listed and sold the items on my eBay account, and have started refunding money to people, and contacting everyone letting them know what has happened. Unfortunately as it was well over $1000 that I have effectively "given away" to this person, as well as eBay fees, its left me in a predicament that I have been unable to pay my eBay fees, and risk being de-registered by eBay in the next few days. Bottom line is, I need to be able to continue selling, in able to pay thoes fees, and refund the money to people.

Any suggestions ? I know talking to eBay is the most important thing to do, and I will be ringing them this morning, just thoughtt someone might have ideas on the best way to go about it.

I don`t want to be de-registered, as then I have NO way of contacting and refunding the people that have paid for items they didn`t receive
