Hello, i sold virtual goods on a website for paypal money ca. 2 weeks ago. Everything nice and proper, i got the money, guy got the game account. Then i decided to use the money i got on another game (wargaming: World of warships, i used all the 50 euro) and after that i closed my paypal account, two days after, the buyer decided to open a dispute in a way to scam me. Since i closed the account i cant log back in and cant even react to the dispute which has allrdy escalated into a claim. The paypal account i used wasnt verified, no real data used, everything was an alias and such but my problem is: If the guy wins the claim which is highly likely, will paypal reverse my payment to wargaming in an attempt to refund the buyer? If that would be the case then my wargaming account would be suspended.....

PAYPAL would not reverse your payment,but if you lose the dispute,your account would be negative,and Paypal expects you to fund your account to bring it to zero.
I dont know how you can do it if your account is closed,you need to ask Paypal or wait for Paypal notice,if there is any instruction on how to fund a closed account.

Your wargame account could be suspended. The buyer who purchased and filed a dispute could also get limited just for dealing with a fraudulent account.
PayPal will make vigourous attempts to collect on your debt, even through debt collectors.
If you really want to fix the problem you will need to contact PayPal by phone. You might be given the option to mail a check.
