Just a warning about a guy on eBay who scammed me. His eBay name is
tony140_6, PayPal name Pascal Young selling an M6 with three lenses. He is listed as being in Coventry, West Midlands, England but claims the camera is at his "shop" in Austria. I lost £1,300 to this prick. PayPal returned £188 and are trying to get the rest. Has anyone experienced getting money back? Is it successful?
the add reads as follows
The item will be shipped from our store in Austria.
Please contact me for any questions.

If you had paid by a Credit Card via Paypal - just call your CC bank and they will do it for you. If you used your existing Paypal balance/funds, I'm afraid it may be a gamble. Good luck!
