Some **** is trying to rip me off on paypal-

He won my item, then didnt want it. (about 8 days ago)

He still sent the payment through-is he thick or something.

I waited till the payment cleared, and as a good person I am sent the money back. (yesterday.)

Then f-ing 9 days after the payment the cheeky ****** has revered his payment, and now hold my money and his original cash. He even has good feedback for what its worth.

FFS I am seriously pi$$ed with this f*cking chav country.

Any ideas what to do? How can reverse my payment to him?

Off to cool off for a an hour or two.

Thanks

Sounds like a great scam................

This is one of the reasons ive stopped using Ebay. Too many scammers on there now.
My other reason is, i forgot my pass word and cant be bothered finding it thus saving me money

Miss Kinky

if he reversed his payment to you, surely you can reverse your payment to him...

kammy

Any ideas on how to do it? That bag of **** website thats paypal offers nothing

Miss Kinky

log into PayPal and do it from there...

If they've claimed it their end, I think you may need to open a dispute, the following may help though:

How did you send it back?
If you sent him cash/cheque or another payment, then you were stupid.

There is a refund option for all payments received- full or partial refunds.

I would try the dispute system as previously suggested. I had a guy pay for something and then chose not to sign for it (recorded delivery) The ar$e then accused me of not sending it and went through paypal to recover his money from me.

Paypal froze my account, gave the guy his money and then told me I couldn't use my account until the balance was repaid. Royally cocked my account up for about a fortnight.

Paypal fell over themselves to give the pr1ck his money back. You can call them as well - didn't help my situation but helpful nonetheless on the phone.

kammy

Yup my account is frozen too with other items I sold being cancelled.

Gutted to say the least. Going through a dispute now but requires the other guy to agree- yeah right.

Can not belive that the scammer gets the fair end of the stick.

kammy

I sent it through Paypal. Its not a fund recieved, its a fund sent then I want back. Still looking through Paypal.

So rather than refunding what he sent you, you sent him a separate payment?

kammy

Yes as I deducted the listing fees and paypal fees.

I only sent it back yesterday. The money he sent to me in first place cleared- I am pissed off wit paypal- since when after the money has cleared can they just reverse a payment after 9 days!

The original money was mine it cleared for god sake,

kammy

Right,

Took your advice guys, opened a dispute and rang PayPal.

The guy it seems has nothing to do with it- Paypal have frozen our accounts, 11 days after the payments- tools.

He does not have my money- despite it saying completed on my summary.
I do not have his money despite it being in my bank account!

A warning to everyone- stop using Paypal as it is a pain in the ****!

Thanks for everyones help- much appriciated.

I think what caused the frozen accounts is the money going both ways on seperate transactions...

When you do a refund through PayPal you get the option of how much to refund
(I used this when the postage was drastically under what I charged one time)

I would guess if it had been done this way then there probably wouldn't have been a problem.

Just a thought anyway.

Ady.
