Just recently I purchased a World of Warcraft character on ebay for $190. I was kind of worried when I purchased it because it came with this disclamier on the main ebay auction page.

I know Blizzard does not condone selling of accounts and this is why every person must post this disclaimer before they set up the auction page. Now I won the auction for $180 and then a few hours after I paid him I get an email back saying that Blizzard deleted his account! Now I'm furious demanding my money back but he is saying its not his fault. He then goes on rambling about how his account his deleted so he has nothing now except the $180 and he believes he legally has the $180 because according to him Blizzard won't help me anyway because they don't want people making money off their game anyway. After he told me this I got worried that I wouldn't see my money back again. I emailed ebay and pay pal but haven't heard back from them yet. A friend of mine told me ebay won't do anything if the amount was under $200!! This better not be true. Basically I just wnt to know if I can sue this guy and get my money back possibly even more for having to deal with all this. Anyone with insight on the subject please post I will greatly appreciate it.
