I can continue too moan about paypal and the crappy service, but it won't stop it being the biggest payment processor out there. Ive been scammed once or twice using paypal. I was just wondering seeing as paypal openly allow you too make a dispute on someone, and 99% of the time u win. If that when i receive a payment, would it be ok if i told the buyer too make a dispute then close it. What im trying too get at here, is if i done that, this would stop the buyer trying something stupid in a week or so down the line? Or would this just give my paypal account a bad look. I think a few people do this too stop getting scammed later on.
That is why the law suggests to have an agreement before doing money transactions. If the buyer make a paypal dispute after 1 week without any reasons, you would have to submit the TOS to paypal and they will consider it.
When you receive a payment and ask buyer to open and close a dispute is 50% safe just in case that he using his own paypal account,i've seen lately alot of guys who use stolen accounts and this "trick" won't work payment will still be reversed. Also i think that if payment is backed with a credit card sender he can still get his money back even he can't open another on paypal he can still contact his credit card issuer and chageback,paypal funds and bank funds are harder chargedback after he opened and closed both cases of disputes(item not received dispute and unauthorized payment dispute) hope this helps.
I won the dispute but could not get my money back.. Paypal could not get the fund from the user... Do not depend on PayPal......
Ohh I was also scammed by an ebay seller.. The seller used a wrong address and did not use the shipping method he promised..I did not received the VoIP adapter I bought.. I proofed all of wrong doings.. and guess what! PayPal found the seller right.. -Wrong address was used. -He used regular USPS mailing instead of UPS (He charged me more) etc etc ... Then I lost the dispute after wasting my 30-40 days.. I called PayPal, and told them that I will take this issue to BBB.. They did credit my payment...But the seller also kept his payment...
If someone wanted me to open a dispute and then close it - I would think there was something wrong with them and not purchase anything from them. I think no matter what you do you are going to get people who want something for nothing - one month I sold 300 products for $10 each, I had about 10 of those come back and ask for a refund. I don't even question it anymore - just give them the refund (they still have the product because it is virtual) - I don't want to have anything to do with people like that. I've also purchased products they have turned out to "not as described" sometimes I file a dispute, sometimes I just chalk it up to "oh well, I fell for it again" Always research what you buy. Don't buy from someone who doesn't have some kind of positive background/feedback from other buyers. Sheila
