Paypal does not have a fraud department and was not able to address this. By posting in community forum, maybe they will actually do something about this.
I am an Ebay seller. Buyer requested refund for $30 in items sold. Case closed in favor of buyer for $30.
Buyer opens a claim in Paypal for $30. Buyer also opens a case in Ebay for $30.
Paypal deducts $30 from my account. E-bay also fronts $15 for one of the 2 items.
$45 comes out of my Paypal account on a $30 transaction.
Ebay will not refund the $15. Paypal will not adjust the $30 taken from my account. I am out $45.
Buyer is a scam artist and based on ebay feedback - he has done this numerous times (based sellers feedback comments).
Scam = If a buyer files a claim with Paypal and then separately with Ebay, they can recoup more than their original purchase.
