i paid for something via paypal and haven't got the goods.

i've put in a dispute with paypal however, i don't think im gonaa get my money or my items.

is there anything i can do? as i have been told by people that the police cant do anything about this?

 

was it something that you bought off of here?

 

Did you pay by credit card? You may be able to get the money back from the card company.

 

no, it was a item that was on ebay but he emailed me saying that the winner didnt pay up. so i i paid through paypal. i paid from my bank.

cant the police do anything?

 

if it wasnt sent recorded then u kin say tell paypal and ull get ure money back if u have disputed it

 

Yea paypal are pretty good from a buyers prospective. Id imagine youll get your money back they've done me well a couple of times. It takes a couple of months though dont expect your money back any time soon

 

Paypal are very good at getting your money back for you.
They will ask the seller for proof of shipping, tracking number etc, if he can't provide, they'll reverse payment.

 

PayPal are pretty good at protecting buyers - not so clever with sellers though! We sold something on eBay, got paid through PayPal so sent the item, was received and positive feedbacks left all round, then PayPal mailed saying the buyer was a relative of the account holder and shouldn't have used the account, they took the money back and even with a dispute raised, we lost the item and the payment without doing anything wrong!!

did you actually buy the item on ebay or did buy it outside of ebay? if you bought it outside of ebay then forget getting any money back, ebay/paypal are only interested in protecting sales through ebay.

 

no i sent the money through paypal but the item was on ebay.
because someone had not paid up for it i just sent him the money that way.

i do have a number for him.
