Hello all, I recently bought a camera on eBay, it cost me $919.98. The money went out of my bank account and the payment went through to the lady. I had been having some trouble with Paypal. So this was the last time i used eBay/Paypal, so after i paid i removed my bank account from my Paypal. Here's the kicker, after the camera arrived in the mail, i noticed the $919.98 went back into my bank account and my Paypal was negative $919.98. I called Paypal and they just bitched and moaned telling me to pay the negative balance, but it doesn't make sense to me since the person i bought the camera from already received the money. I emailed her, she told me the money was still in her account. But what i wanted to know was, Can/will Paypal sue me? Can/will Paypal go into the bank account that i removed from my Paypal and take the money out? i don't even understand how this happened. I live in Canada by the way.
The exact thing happened to a friend in the past and she called paypal to ask what the hell was happening. Paypal actually bitch with her so badly that she decided to NOT do anything about it. Well, guess what? She contacted the buyer and the money was in his account, she contacted her bank and ask to deny all transaction with paypal and she also kept the item. At the end of the day, she was around US$2000 richer. This is something that happened around 4-5 months ago. She just closed the paypal account and nothing happened!
Don't forget to close account and let your bank know that paypal is full of BS... it always help... lol
