The guy won his case and PayPal refunded. Maybe the counterfeiter will be out of business, although this really only points to the seller on eBay, who was most likely not the original source of the mandolin. So, thanks to the Cafe, we're 8 for 8 in keeping people from being defrauded with these fakes.
