I won an auction at Ebay and the seller asked me to pay with Bidpay. Since Bidpay takes credit card and seller told me that I can subtract the fee from the total price. I did it, and then never heard from the seller again and get any email reply.

After a week, the seller cancel his ebay account, and I know that he is going to run away, so I called my credit card company to dispute the charge and they did a chargeback right away.

Now, Bidpay sent me a letter as they have put my name with the collection agency for the amount of (36 sent price) dollars.

Am I screwed? should I try fight for it? I don't understand why can't they put the seller name with collection agency instead when I'm the obvious victim here.

Especially, the money was sent directly to the scammer's checking account instead of they are sending in a money order.

It is not a lot of money but it just pissed me off that Bidpay does not even try to help.

Also, What can I do to bust this scammer?

Please help.
