Mike....I'm not sure what the time frame was
but the protection that you are refering to
from pay-pal and e-bay in my case is non exsistant...I can't get e-bay or pay-pal to responde to my e-mails after not getting gifts that I bid on and won in November paid in Nov thru pay-pal for my childrens Christmas...I can't get the sellers or e-bay or pay-pal to answer....maybe Boo should wait
a little longer, however, The guy who sold the laptop got the money.....you could be correct, it may just be slow coming....
