im quite sure the seller has the address of the person who got the money insted of the ps2. and over 44 grand im sure they would pay the guy a visit.

"a fools and their money are...."

I would close my ebay account, hopefuly that will hide my address....

go to the post office and change a grand for euros.... and few weeks later go back and change about 300 pounds of euros back to sterling commission free, then keep doing it on an irregular bases.

The has to be the best way to clean a small amount of dirty money. Would they have to pay tax on it if the police give it back?

Take it all to a casino, do a small bet and get a cheque

you try changing £44k in one go. not only will they prob not have it, but they will also call the police.

What i would have done is emailed the seller "wheres my ps2" etc. pursue a refund, and leave bad feedback saying i never got the ps2. Then change the euros to pounds in small amounts irregularly
