    i sold a game account to someone online and made 150bucks, i put it in my bank then 3 weeks later the guy decides to put buyer dispute...

    What should i do in this case?

    Should i escalate to a claim?

    anyone else had experienced this before.

    In my experience, Paypal is probably going to send your account into negative (150) and give him his money. Typically for virtual items buyers are highly dishonest and tend to file claims on a HIGH percentage of transactions. What did he select as what the payment was for when he sent the money? Paypal doesn't insure virtual items/goods, but I've seen too many times the seller getting jipped for hundreds of dollars. What game, if I may ask?

    If the buyer paid by credit card Paypal basically has to refund the credit card company. If he paid from his PayPal account then I thought Paypal policy was no refunds or disputes on "intangible" goods.
