Reporting a scam

[jkdblee]

 I recently made a transaction with a seller, but I never received my item.  I can't really report it because the item does not show in my Purchase History.   The seller had me wired $$$ to an "ebay" account and I never received my item.  Basically I got scammed.

How do I report this incident to Ebay and have them look into it?  I checked the security section but didn't find it helpful.   Please help! Thanks.

eBay can only help with a refund if you actually purchased on ebay.com, used the eBay checkout and paid using an approved payment method through eBay.

You can report the seller here:
