So what do you do if you get scammed?
I recently bought an OFT from a member here and the seller ceased all contact after I sent him the money through paypal. The package could still be shipping, but just in case, what protocol should I follow if I did indeed get scammed?

File a claim through Paypal, and report the user to a moderator.

What jawn said. I had some dude scam me with TRD springs. I filed a claim through PayPal and eventually got my money back. Although I never directly reported him to the mods on here, I did notice he made another post for the springs and made sure to share my story on there and PMed everyone on the thread that said they'd PMed the guy about them.

How long did it take to get the money back, and did you have to have any evidence to be able to prove your claim

I've dealt with paypal before. It takes maybe a week or 2. No evidence needed, just a statement. Could be case by case. I think if they can't supply paypal with a tracking number you pretty well automatically win

Maybe recently was this morning. So many maybes. Everybody likes to jump in with zero facts to go on other than the very brief and uninformative istory the op stated.

I get the feeling we're getting trolled...
It was just Thanksgiving weekend...if they're American, give the seller and the delivery service a break. Ever heard of black friday and cyber monday? Hope you didn't gift it. You NEVER gift unless it's a friend or in person. If you did gift, you're SOL. Want to know what to do if you're scammed like this? Learn from it.
