well, we keep hearing this and that about paypal, but still they are the biggest service provider and until at least they get affected, their policies wont change for the better.
I am sorry to hear you had to deal with that! Especially at x-mas time! Paypal will normally always favor the BUYER. Regardless if they are right or wrong. I learned that the hard way. Please tell me you did not ship the guy the coins?
As a few people suggested, just start pissing them off by frequent calls. x) They'll eventually get annoyed and restore your account access... or delete it all together. However, if they delete it and take your money it's considered fraud I believe.
I fail to understand that in majority of the cases, paypal seems to favour buyers.... Why is that? Do they think all sellers are fraud?
Paypal is not interested to prolong and resolve anyone's problems and this is the reason why they always favor the buyer because it's the buyer who's making an argument. Once the buyer is gone, Paypal is clear from anything. Remember, Paypal is no different from people making money. They're making money too and as much as possible they don't like trouble. Apart from not being a judge Paypal is just a payment gateway.
I can feel your pain,i have encountered similar problem , the amount is minimum , the option now is quit paypal use other mean, may escrow would be good to large sum of money
We need a revolution why don't we stop using Paypal and Use Google Checkout. ?? Paypal has done enough it's in our hand t decide paypal's fate.. We can aware people not using paypal.. and moving to other alternative payment processor.
Refund the $400.00 and get your account access restored...You claim to make more in automated sales so buck up and take the loss....no sense risking your home over $400.00!!! You should not have tried to sell what you did and think there would be no ramiofications. (A new ring at $400.00 once it walks out of the store automatically loses 50% of its value....knowing this how could you value it at $400.00????) Also you can deduct the refund from your taxes at year end... so not a complete loss and you will be making money... since the ring WAS not worth $400.00
You just need to give transaction id. Most of the time paypal cancels complaint in this case. Wish you luck.
Why would you do that??? Its unimportant to the OPs issue... and if anything you handed the OPs winning ways... to someone who can steal it from him...
This may be the scamming buyer, posting information that I have previously made unknown to the public. It could be somebody from PayPal. It was a auction and the listing was 100% accurate, so who is really at fault? Either way, shame on you!
I'm sorry...I just realized I made an error. I thought you were posting information unknown to everybody. I had a brain fart, sorry for the offensive. My fault...
I think this is the problem...He's a big time collector and I am not, so my stuff probably looked like crap to him.
