Pay pal said that I am not eligible for their insurance because he didn't put his address on the invoice. However, I checked and the address that I shipped to, and that he signed for the package at, is the exact same address that is on his varified pay pal account! When I called pay pal before this sale, all they said was to make sure that I sent everything signed delivery, which I did.

Cameron: Don't waste your time with the FBI, they're not going to do anything for you. I'd really focus on trying to get an attorney for internet crime if possible. I can't imagine that paypal can be purged fully of the responsibility of not compensating you somehow.
