F*CK PAYPAL... WHO HERE BEEN F*CK'D BY THEM?

[4dmin]

SO I SOLD MY 2002, TOOK A 500$ DEPOSIT ON THE CAR. GUY DROVE FROM SAVANNAH TO COME PICK IT UP. A REVERSE WENT IN ON THE DEPOSIT A WEEK LATER AND NOW MY ACCOUNT IS 500$ IN THE NEGATIVE. THEY WON'T CLEAR MY ACCOUNT AND I'M NOT PROTECTED B/C I CAN'T SHOW IT WAS SHIPPED + RECIEVED

anyone know of any other recourse if i can't get this straightened out. like calling the dmv or police and filing a report b/c basically the reversal is almost like writting a bounced check and taking the item....?

[GuessWho]

hhhmmmmm.....
You got me on this one....
Me not knowing FTL...

[AtifSajid]

you have to call paypal. Tell them whats going on, and talk to someone who knows wtf they are talking about. dont talk to the first dumb blonde that gets on the phone, unless she knows whats up.

edit

Also make sure you have paperwork and anything else they will need to fax to them.

[WhiteAccord]

Came on the same exact problem...with 220 dollars, im still in the dispute against paypal....

[MistaCee]

Local, cash money deals FTW! that really sucks though I would take whiteaccords advice and call them

they want s/h receipts ... i was like HELLO it was picked up it was a local sale... i've talked to 3 different people there and they are no help they are like the buyer needs to send you 500$ to clear up your account.

[Vteckidd]

thats called the PAYPAL scam, without tracking paypal takes the other guys side.

What you have to do is contact paypal, and fax them like a copy of the bill of sale , DMV records ,etc

[yogi08]

so wait, im almost confused. he reversed it to get that $500 back?

you should get a paypal debit card, take the $$ out immediatly.

i got the money but now my account is in the negative.

[WhiteAccord]

I wonder if there is anway to sue paypal for this type of behavior.

[Vteckidd]

what he did was pay Paul for an item, then he PICKED THE ITEM Up.

He then disputed it with paypal saying he never RECEIVED THE ITEM.

Paypal bases its entire security system on SHIPPING with TRACKING INFO

[WhiteAccord]

I C....So the guy who picked up whaetever is the one scamming Paul....

[yogi08]

im 45 mins from savannah... gime an address. CANOF WHOOPASS! ahahaha

[LS2ner]

If you sold it off ebay you can also contact them i think. If im not mistaken paypal is owned by them. Its also fraud to i believe.

[imbosile]

So the $500 is the deposit? How did he pay you rest of the money? Cash once he arrived to pick it up?

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

These people and others on there.

[ahmonrah]

havent done enough biz with paypal to be able to help......i intend to soon though. ~hopes to protect myself from screwage~

[TIGERJC]

Screwed out of 500 thanks to paypal also. I just had to take the loss.

[AznTraitor]

mine was $400, and that was like 2 years ago....and I have sent all documentation of shipping, tracking numbers and such, but they must be run by retarded monkeys because they don't see where I shipped the item.


never got the money back.

ya 500 paypal the rest was in cash.

[Vteckidd]

CALL THEM PAUL, it sucks but you HAVE TO CALL THEM. Longer you wait the less chance you have of getting money back.

If they reversed the money back to his account he can withdraw it an close his paypal down leaving you with ZERO.

[Elbow]

PayPal has ****ed me over SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many times, I will never use them again, EVER.

i have atleast 4x basically they told me they can't help me unless he admits he has the car or i can show proof of that... only thing i can think of is call the DMV and see if they can get me something stating that the vehicle title is under a new name now.

worse case scenerio i have the guys address and i'll make the drive to savannah for 500$

basically, your'e going to have to drive to his house and tell him he f'd up. better yet, i'd file a lawsuit against him. i believe $500 is a felony. if you have his name, address, Bill of sales, etc, than you should have more than what you need.

[umairejaz]

Have you tried calling him?

[4dmin]

Have you tried calling him?

ya i have and i gave the guy the benefit of doubt that paypal f*ck'd up so i've giving him to weeks end to fix it situation that has been going on for 3 weeks now.

[yogi08]

fuk that... lets repo that car, he can keep the 500 he took back. all youd have to say is the deal was screwed cause he wasnt honest.

[AnclyT]

yea, this is why i never do over $200 on paypal

unless i have a good tracking number and i always make them sign the package when it's delivered

even if you get the money back from paypal, it's not worth the time/hassle
