Steven A. Levi, Dutypaid, Duty Free Digital On Ebay FRAUD & RIP-OFF! New York New York
I'm not alone you should all file a police report in your town if you been ripped off... His email is still good at [email protected]
I bought a camera on ebay, paid through Paypal, never received camera after more than a month. Business phone is out of service; cell phone doesn't answer; no response to emails. Paypal won't help - "You must file complaint within 30 days" -- What a ripoff they are! Here is the last emil I recieved from him...

Check you ebay message from me. I will file a claim against paypal tomarrow.. Due to circumstances beyond our control, Duty Free Digital is forced to close its business and is declaring bankruptcy.
If you paid with PayPal, please contact them or contact your credit card provider. I want to sincerely apologize to you. I also want you to know some facts. I've owned an eBay store for about 5 years and until this year did OK. However, competition kept increasing and my profits kept decreasing, a combination that has forced me out of business.
I put everything I had into my eBay business. I have lost my entire life's savings and I am now in the most dire straits of my life. I have a wife and two teenage children. This is the single worst event in my life other than my father's death years ago. I'm not some corporation filing bankruptcy; I'm a guy who worked 120 hours a week and 52 weeks a year to earn a living. I am not uncaring or oblivious to the pain that I have caused you.
I'm telling you all this because I want you to know that this is all about a failed business. Sometimes, despite one's best efforts and despite one investing everything they own into a business, the business fails and cannot go on. That is what has happened to me.
I am very, very sorry that my business failing has hurt you too. If there was a way to stay in business I would have done it, but the reality is that I must close my eBay store. My life and my family's life will be affected by this personal failure for years to come. Please know that I do not take any of this lightly, and that I never wanted to hurt you.
Take care

Pay Pal could care less...cancelled my account with them after years of use. I must admit I always had good service from Pay Pal until I had this problem and they just can't help in any way....ACCT CLOSED I will use a credit card from now on it's safer
