Buyers beware of John Geitz Jr.

Hi, I paid 1020$ to him by PayPal to his wife(?) for the drivetrain from a Dart, which he promised to deliver to my shipment address in Linden NJ. I got one mail from him after I paid, then it is completely silent, this was 25. Jan 2010. He listed this both on Moparts and as an E-bay auction. I live in Norway, and I have correspondance linking him to this possible fraud. Is there any advice to how to possibly get the money back, or have the deal completed? I searched the net for relatives, and there is one John Geitz Sr in West Deptford, it could be that this is his father. Any comments?
Thanks,

You should contact PayPal. You only have a limited time to contact them. I think it's 60 days from the transfer of funds. After that they will give you a lot of lip service and tell you how seriously they take this sort of thing but they won't do anything. Be sure to let them know there's a problem before it's too late.
