The way paypal works, if you're the buyer you are in pretty good shape. If you are a seller they will fuck you.
ETA-If you reported it before he got all of his money out of paypal, his money will be stuck in paypal while your issue is pending.

That's probably why the delay between hiding his feedback, stringing me along, and then pulling the plug entirely. Fucker. I hope he gets ass cancer. |

Many years ago I got fucked by a seller. Ebay was helpful, Florida police also. I eventually got my money back.
But this a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.

Both PayPal and eBay are slow in dealing with this kind of thing. Your payment wasn't transferred yet, was it?
The only way you will be REALLY screwed is if the seller withdrew all his funds from PayPal to his bank, THEN closed his bank account, so that PayPal could not reverse the charges. Even so, I think PayPal will assume the loss rather than you getting stuck with it. |

It's this waiting that's pissing me off. eBay assumes we can "work it out" in these 72 hours before I can "escalate it to the resolution center."
Work what out? This FUCK took the money and ran! |

Depending on the amount, its grand larceny, a felony. I hope you have the bastards personal info, if so skip the ebay bs all together and contact the police to pursue criminal charges, the key when dealing with dirt bags here is never let up or go easy on him, make his life a living hell. Find out where he works, get his families info call them all. Make his life a living hell until you get your money back.

Long story short. Ordered Silver coins from someone with a 700+ feedback so thought they were good to go. After stringing me along for a bit, they suddenly changed their feedback to "private" and refused to answer my emails. I reported them to eBay but they require 3 buisiness days for the seller to respond to your accusation. Now I see that the seller has "no items for sale." They must have pulled the plug on their account completely. What can I expect next? eBay / Paypal good about refunding your money or is this going to be another hassle? There is a recent episode of Judge Judy that describes the exact same scenario(except in the episode, the quality of the coins was in question). You should be able to get your money back as long as it hasn't been too long. Put in a paypal issue and an ebay issue immediately, and follow up daily. PS: Judge Judy said that if you see something that is a known value like precious metals on ebay, and its cheaper than the market, AVOID IT.

One other thing, although I'm not 100% sure he did this, and quite frankly, don't know how he would have managed to do it, but I would swear that he changed the description of the sale after the auction ended.
Unless what he did was modify the auction at the very last second. I was bidding in the last moments of the auction, when I won it. I'll bet he did that too. Basically, when I was bidding, I would swear that the coins were going to ship within 3-5 days. Then, after a week went by and I didn't receive the coins or a tracking number, I went back and looked at the original auction again. It said that "This is a presale of the coins, they will ship directly from the Mint in a tube on July 15." Mind you, the auction ended way back in June. I thought it was strange, but figured I had just missed that part when I bid and chalked it up to a mistake on my part. In retrospect, it was no mistake, it was a scam. |

I do know that they cannot change the description once someone has purchased or bid. That is supposed to be impossible iirc. It can slip through during the transaction though. Don't worry, ebay keeps a full edit history, and it's visible from the sellers window(so ebay can see it too). Just make sure you are 100 percent positive about this before you accuse. Because if you accuse of something that didn't happen for sure, you may muddy the water for the rest of the claim. |

I bought a modular sleep system off eBay and the seller forgot to add the compression sack even though it was included in the sale description. Went through the resolution center and the seller immediately sent the remaining item. So it was a good experience. But your seller sounds like a huge shitbag.

While I don't use PP, I have read plenty from folks who have been scammed. If you really want to ensure that your payments are "safe", use a CC to make your payment through PayPal. Do NOT make the payment using your bank account. That way even if PayPal denies your claim you can dispute the transaction with your credit card company, and they will happily fuck PayPal over if you can prove you didn't receive what you paid for. |

Yes....several times.....as buyer and seller...
As a seller, I sold a college text. When I sold it, the person wrote back asked if they could withdraw since it was wrong. I offered to allow them to withdraw for 4 bucks to recoup fees from ebay and paypal. They went ahead and paid it....which seemed suspicious. The person at the post office recommended a tracking number because they said sometimes people will try to scam you. Sure enough, the person made a claim and said they had not received it. They did not even contact us. We contacted both paypal and the buyer and gave them the tracking number which stated which day they got it...the buyer never replied ...eventually the hold on our paypal account was lifted but the person ticked me off royally. We had a few instances as a buyer as well. We always came out okay. Most of the time, these people doing this are scammers. You will be fine, you might have to wait 30 days but you will be okay. |

I wish you the best of luck with E-bay/PP making it right. As a buyer you have it infinitely better than the seller.
Not too relevant but I sold a $100 ceramic item on E-bay last year and the seller said it was damaged in transit and wanted a refund. E-bay required the buyer to return the broken item to get the refund. I only asked them to send me a photo of the damage and I would refund the money. They wouldn't send a photo or the item back. You want to know what e-bay/PP did? They actually didn't refund the money but let them leave negative feedback for me which is complete horseshit for a scam. I do have the buyer's information for future reference though!  My 900+ 100% feedback rating took a negative hit which dropped my percentage and of course affects future sales as many people only purchase from those with perfect feedback. Needless to say I pretty much stopped selling on e-bay and started using craigslist most of the time. Plus I don't get charged the rape fees of around 20-25% of everything I sell. Fuck E-bay/PP and while were at it FBHO! |

As long you use eBay to try to contact the seller whether the seller gets back to you or not, eBay will see that communication and accept it as proof you tried to correct it. Just leave the communications intact and do it through eBay so they can track the issue. Had a 40.00 scam done to me and seller removed herself. eBay resolved it within 4 weeks. The eBay Buyer Protection was what protected me. With PP being part of eBay, they must've went after the seller mercifully as well, even for 40 bucks.

Ebay is very slanted toward the buyer. You will get your money back unless you were completely confused as to what you were bidding on.
Every once and a while someone sells a picture of something, usually around Christmas time, "Picture of a Brand New Playstation 4" stuff like that. In situations like that if the seller sends the person a picture of a Playstation 4 they might win, short of that the Buyer always wins, even when they shouldn't. |

Usually when you sell something, the money is held in PayPal until a week or so passed, but if they haven't shipped it it can be longer I'm sorry that isn't true, unless you have some sort of limitations on your ebay/paypal account. |

Pretty much the above. If you paid via credit card via Paypal, you should be doubly protected. You did pay via credit card didn't you. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The way paypal works, if you're the buyer you are in pretty good shape. If you are a seller they will fuck you. ETA-If you reported it before he got all of his money out of paypal, his money will be stuck in paypal while your issue is pending. Pretty much the above.

UPDATE:
Got this email from eBay: The seller has asked eBay Customer Support to review this case and make a final decision. We'll review the case details, such as messages sent in the Resolutions Center about this case and other emails sent through eBay between you and the seller. If we have questions, we'll get in touch with you. We'll get back to you within 48 hours. You can view the details of this case in the Resolution Center. Now, what's this guy's angle? Why would he want to do this? |

I sold a Remington PSS stock.When the buyer received it he claimed it was NOT a PSS but a Sendero.......he sure talked like an expert ,had dates,colors,mfg's,etc.
He wanted a refund.I said "OK,no problem...return the stock and I'll refund your money AND pay return shipping" ..I never heard from him for 2 weeks.I sent another note asking what he wanted to do......no response.Then the next week he filed a claim against me with ebay/Paypal....ebay ruled in my favor and I kept his money and he kept the stock. |

UPDATE AGAIN
Wow, that was fast!!! eBay ruled in your favor in your dispute case, and a full refund of $219.50 USD was sent to your PayPal account for your purchase from Xxxx Xxxxxxx. It may take 3-5 business days to receive the refund in your account. eBay will then consider the dispute closed. If you have any questions, please go to the eBay Resolution Center. It must have been VERY apparent from their point of view that this guy was a scammer. |

At this point, I'm sure he took all the money out of paypal. That's probably why the delay between hiding his feedback, stringing me along, and then pulling the plug entirely. Fucker. I hope he gets ass cancer. Quote HistoryQuoted:
