I just traded with someone for egold in exchange of paypal, but the funds still didn't reflect in my account coz Paypal held it as they said "they have suspected that the payment was unauthorized." What will I do then coz I can't send a proof coz its an exchange of egold and we know that paypal won't allow that. Anyone have experienced this?
who did you trade from? a member here at DP? Also did you send him the money first? theres lots of dirty paypal money..thats..like illegit funds..that could be an issue..
yes with ahsanxr, but he's banned now, I traded with him coz he has some 12 itraders and I don't know if he has something to do with this. On our trade, I just checked my email if I got the funds and didn't really login to my paypal account, and then send him the egold. Now I received an email from Paypal coz they held the funds from ahsanxr and asking me to resolve it, but I can't since I only have the egold proof. Also, is there a tendency that paypal will freeze my account as I'm planning to just ignore it and won't use this paypal account again since its only a minimal amount. But I'm not sure if ahsanxr has really an intention to do this.
Sweetangel, I would advise you to check with ahsanxr and also check if by mstake you have left a note in the subject with regard to this egold transaction.
Can I just ignore it so to avoid any complications its just $20 anyways. I decided to just open another paypal account using vcc. What do you think guys?
I would ring paypal and get it sorted. They may well limit your account for accepting an "unauthorized payment" - they do this sort of thing all the time.
Well, in this case it may not be easily sorted because the OP knows that money exchanges using Paypal is a breach of Paypal's agreement and a violation of the Acceptable Usage Policy without a valid license. I would think the only way would be to accept your mistake and count whatever as lost. Do not go about making the matters worst by creating another paypal account. As this would also be another breach of Paypal's agreement. Doing two wrongs doesn't make it right. You need to take responsibility for your actions.
Sorted? It is the most common scam that users use. You give eGold account with legit money, they give brand new paypal account filled with money from a stolen account. There is nothing that can be resolved. I am sorry for you that you got scammed, hope this will serve as lesson to you in the feature, people can trade services...in the first moment you hear trading money be prepared to get burned.
