...100% feedback and it looks like I'm about to get stiffed for the first time.

Somebody bought some goods off me back in March. Sent to the registered PayPal address, positive feedback left for me and now today I get an email from PayPal saying they are initiating a credit card chargeback. Guess PayPal will be taking the money back off me in due course.

Yes it's genuine, I logged on to PayPal the normal way and went to the resolution centre.

have they not opened a dispute or gave a reason?? sounds quite strange that they would do this now as you only have 60days from when you have bought a item to report it as not being as it says in the listing.

In my experience, If you have proof of delivery you should be ok

That sounds about right for ebay these days they don't give a flying **** anymore

CrisPDuk

What do you mean 'anymore' Paul Ebay in my experience have never give a ****

As a matter of policy I never accept Paypal payment as a seller Apart from the fact that their charges are bordering on theft, it's just to risky

Take the dispute up with your Credit Card company, if you have proof that the goods were received OK, they should stop Paypal stealing the money.

Firstly though, has there been a dispute initiated that you have failed to address



Will a Plus member please infract this post If this isn't trolling I don't know what is

You do love to assume without knowing fa don't you

Stephb1986

he would only pay tax if he had upgraded his account to a premium account and then it would be classed as a income where as im a seller also i just have a standard paypal account and dont pay tax because its not a business i run its just stuff i want to get rid of

It would seem that Paypal charged the purchase to somebodyelse's credit card. The original purchaser has said his card was never charged and has told paypal to just put the charge through.

Indeed, I put 171 transactions not 171 sales.

Ebay charges you vat anyway. Plus you originally paid vat on the product when you bought it, so assuming you are selling second hand items I can't see a problem.

171 transaction over how long, I am about the same over four years and I am not a trader, who ever really makes any profit on Ebay, too much aggro and arsing about.

the point is suresh, everyone on here knows who you are, but for the wrong reasons. just think before you post.

Frosty The Snowman

lol if you have made a profit of £1600, ie sales less claimable costs, then you are liable to pay tax on it just like anyone else.

Errr I dont think UK income tax law atually gives 2 hoots about what sort of account you have. You're liable to tax if you're buying and selling in order to make a profit.

Stephb1986

well i already pay tax on the stuff ive bought so the uk income tax law can kiss my ***!

every1sgottablue1

Its ridiculus the government thinking they can tax us on the odd bit of money being made on ebay

In my case its generally a loss, as the stuff I sell is stuff I paid full price for new, and some years down the line I am now selling

I paid tax on my earnt salary, and paid VAT on the goods I bought, pay VAT to ebay etc, paypal fees postage etc etc

I have made a loss, so I should claim a tax refund lol

If / When the government start taxing ebayers, I think it will be time to go down the old car boot and sell stuff there (all cash no record of any transactions )
