Transaction disputed after the receipt of virtual goods.

[Rugernow]

I recently decided to sell some virtual goods via craigs list ad. I was in talks with a person who said he was interested in the goods I had available. We agree'd on a price of ~300 dollars US and he asked for some time to get the funds into his paypal account. Once the accounts were available he asked for my paypal address, I gave it to him and he sent me the money. I immediately went to move it into my checking account where it would be safe. During the transaction into my checking account I released the virtual goods to him, thanked him for his patronage and went on my way.

This afternoon I received an email saying that he had disputed the paypal transaction. Paypal stopped the transaction and immediately withdrew the money from my account. Now I am without the virtual goods and without the 300 dollars I was promised in payment.

What can I do?

I will be making calls to both paypal and the company threw which the virtual goods are used to try and recover them.

Sorry the same thing happened to me. I think unauthorized activity is code for scammed the guy now give my money back to me. But the rules say they can't put your balance into a negative one but it did mine. I think paypal is probably helping people buy and resell virtual items I bet if I bought a virtual item and wanted my money back they would tell me sorry for your luck so I say that the guys doing this kind stuff are actually paypal founder members. The guy that got me was goldwingtom at hotmail he has been with paypal like 8-9 years yet they say they ban people that do what he was doing im sure he does it all the time.

After review, we found that this unauthorized activity claim is valid. According to the terms of our User Agreement, we have refunded the buyer using funds from your account. This case is now closed.
