Hi, i few weeks ago i sold a game account 'wow' for 800$ on paypal, paypal then said the funds were cleared so i thought great spent some of the money, then a few hours later, the guy is saying that someone stole his account and bought it, then paypal give him the cash back and left me in 100£ debt... i rang them explained what happend and basically they said tuf.. any ideas on whatb i can do?
Get the account back first from WOW, and then do anything further, if you have explained things properly, paypal wouldnt do anything to you.
Ive tried getting it back from wow but when i registerd me and my mate shared the account and he done 'vinny' instead of vincent when they asked for a drivers license proof, so they never give it us back, and paypal told me to contact the police but seriously...what would they do, and now paypal constantly email me asking for the 100£
Well, even if your Name is given us "Vinny" instead of "Vincent", there is a secreat IP assigned to each and every computer which can be tracked by the websites. They can verify that it was your account which will mostly get it back to you. As of having 800$ as a backorder and £100, i would go to the Police as it is alot to me. It is your wish how to go ahead, police would be one of the convinient way as they can physically have a look into the matter while paypal will do nothing except contact you via EMail..
Provide paypal with the shipping tracking number information. If it shows delivered, then paypal will try to cross check his account and if he is trying to cheat you, then i m sure paypal will get the money back to you. If not, ask your buyer to ship the item back to you.
i havent actaully shipped anything it was a gaming account so basically all i sold was account details and a chaacter no hardwae or anything
WOW won't do anything either. I don't think they allow selling of their WOW accounts in the first place.
yep, PP doesn't cover digital goods so your SOL. Blizzard won't you since you violated T&C for selling an account. Life lesson
