The problem is that I sent this as GIFT so that I could accept the Paypal fees instead of Saddam.

He told me he was having money problems, so I scrambled up the money as fast as I could and sent it to his friend's Paypal account on good faith.

I have never been ripped off by an Amiga user, in fact this community has been very good to me for as long as I have been a user. I've gotten some really good deals and have sent large amount of money across seas before, all on good faith. In fact I have even received some expensive gear totally for free, so it's really sad to see things backfire this time. If this had not been a $500 dollar deal I wouldn't be so upset.
