Well, I've just spent an hour or so reading through the whole thread. Couple of points I have a hard time understanding.
Mark Moye had a trade account at Aero. Presumably he paid after shipping within 30 days. The orders were backed by hefty customer deposits. These confirmed sales are profitable so where is the problem ? If it's a short term cash flow shortage, the perennial problem of small businesses, a bank loan or extended credit from the supplier should be available. (on inspection of the order book.)
I used to sell new Swiss and German watches on Ebay. Mostly from stock. Occasionally someone would ask for something a bit specialist that would have to be a special order and take months to arrive. A 10% deposit seemed fair to most customers which on average was around $150.
I am astonished that people have been paying large amounts up front for jackets and then waiting, in some cases for more than a year, without contacting Aero Scotland ? Or indeed that Ebay allow such listings in the first place.
Certainly in the UK this is very unusual business practice and probably wouldn't even have occurred to Aero Scotland that such things could happen !
Those owed money might like to consider doing a credit card chargeback. In some instances there is no time limit for non-performance. In this case non-delivery or possibly even fraud. Ring your card company and ask for a claim form. The claim is against Paypal, the recipient of the funds.
Whether Paypal ever manages to reclaim their money later is not of direct concern.
I once successfully got all my money back doing a chargeback on an item purchased on Ebay. It broke six months later and the seller did not respond. All the relevant documentation needed to be printed and sent to Mastercard.
