WOAH!! PayPal...

[Black_Apalachi]

I won't go into too much detail but recently a member of this forum purchased something from me via PayPal and then proceeded to make a claim against me and reversed the payment.

I was told by others that due to the nature of the transaction, I (the seller) would never win the dispute. They were initially correct as I was given a choice of options involving ways to pay the money back.

However I sent PayPal an email or message asking if there was any way I could appeal their decision and I just noticed an email I received which contains this:

£28.63 has previously been reversed from your account for this case. As the case has been appealed, this amount will be returned to your account in 3-5 days.

and I am actually able to withdraw it .





Although I'm over the moon, I'm still a bit shocked that PayPal are so easily influenced. I could have been lieing for all they know?

As for the money, I got a 30 quid bank charge anyway for not having enough in my bank account to pay a direct debit due to not receiving this payment earlier when expected. I don't care though, that scammer knows who he is and I hope he sees this thread. As long as he doesn't have my money, I'm happy! :eusa_danc

You just have to provide the correct data to PayPal and if they see it's legit information etc and a stronger case than the other person you have better chances of winning.

I ordered something from eBay once and when I got it it was slightly damaged so I complained. It was only a few scratches on one speaker, but they refunded me all of the money! I didn't even return the speakers!

Who is he, I'll sort him out for you! Pm me.

And ye, same here, i sold some "Virtual goods" to someone and i think he was using a stolen paypal and owner of that Paypal had a CC attached..

Once i sent him the virtual goods - Came up to £180, he reversed all the payments lol which left me really ******* off. Told paypal what happened and they said, because it's virtual goods, couldn't provide proof that i sold something, there was nothing that they could do.. Just got to be careful who you sell to, even claim and cancel, sending as a gift is no good.

Money Bookers is much more safer, Liberty Reserves also.

yeah but the details I provided are just what I say, they could be fact or fiction. It's the same both ways though I suppose, so how they make a decision I don't know.

[Black_Apalachi]

Edited by Catzsy [Forum Super Moderator]: It is not allowed to do this either. Naming a scammer on the board or via PM Thanks
