IF YOU EVER BEEN RIPPED OFF BY PAYPAL COMMENT HERE!!!

[Yngvar10]

ONCE AGAIN RIPPED OFF BY PAYPAL!

THE BUYER CAN OPEN A CASE IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING AN ITEM

AND NOW THE BUYER CAN GET A FULL REFUND WITHOUT EVEN RETURNING THE ITEM

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED IN MY LAST DISPUTE CASE, I COULD NOT BELEIVE IT!

EVEN PROVIDING A TRACKING NUMBER DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT FUNDS WILL

BE RETURNED BACK TO YOU! I LOST MONEY IN MY 2ND TO LAST CASE THROUGH THEIR INABILITY TO FOLLOW A PERFECTLY GOOD TRACKING NUMBER I GAVE THEM. 

CLEARLY NO COMMON SENSE IS APPLIED TO ANY OF THEIR CASE INVESTIGATIONS.

FOR THE >10% CUT THEY TAKE FROM EVERY TRANSACTION THAT IS CARRIED OUT THROUGH THEM

IS THIS REALLY A SERVICE?

You state "the only circumstances where we would not ask a buyer to return the item is ........ if the item has been confirmed as a fake or counterfeit (it is illegal for someone to knowingly post fraud items).

That is exactly the case I had when I was sold a fake memory stick but paypal refused a refund.

Will you please therefore re-open the case and send me a refund.

[dmtcatfan]

Sorry... hate to tell you this but Paypal is not going to reopen the case.  they suck.  Not a good company.  They speak out of their mouth and do out their **bleep**.  My case was legit and yet they allowed it.  Now I am **bleep** and out $120.

PAYPAL ARE IDIOTS. TAKE YOU MONEY WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING BUT WONT LET YOU WITHDRAW IT. PLUS THE STUPID CHARGES. GET A LIFE, GET A REAL JOB. LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[collector-1313]

oh yeah ? you help people ? 

then why am i being screwed and told to ship a pacakge that will cost me 600 canadian to china (item was 299 canadian) when i never asked for a full return ? 

because the seller knows i wont pay more than the item is worth to ship it back 

and pay pal loses there middle money if i get a partial refund 

so of coarse i get the screwed ?

I ASKED FOR MY PRODUCT I BOUGHT TO BE AS DESCRIBED OR A PARTIAL REFUND AND I AM BEING ASKED TO SHIP A HUGE PACKAGE TO CHINA AND GET RIPPED OFF FOR 600 OF MY CANADIAN DOLLARS 

I AM POSTING THIS ON EVERY FORM UNTIL JUSTISE IS GIVEN TO ME

I'm currently attempting to sell a boat on Craigslist & someone 5 states away (west coast states, not east coast county-sized states) is trying to scam me.  I'm having fun with him/her.  They are insisting that we use paypal only as it is safe & secure, etc. etc.  etc.  It's so obviously a scammer that I had to try & find out just how this person intends to rip me off.  Hence, stumbling on your site.  I've used Paypal zillions of times as a buyer.  I'm glad to know to try & avoid it when selling.  Obviously you need to button things up for the seller.

just been scammed myself too a guys opened up a case saying he's not received a parcel. ive provided a tracking number and lo and behold my paypal account is now in a negative balance to the tune of around £50 the scammers got his refund and my goods now and the case hasnt even been investigated yet. it seems that paypal are funding the various crime organisations aswell as charging ebay sellers 3 times between then on everything thats sold. i think **bleep** turpin must be investigating my case.

Paypal is great to use. When you sent your parcel it should have been sent registered so it had to be signed for by the buyer. A scammer will only bother to claim if they know there is no proof it was received by them. If it was sent registered then chase up the paperwork. Once you have the evidence showing that it arrived and was in fact collected you will get your money back. I sell and buy through Paypal all the time but I protect myself from such things like you experienced happening to me. When you advertise an item for sale state clearly in your add that the item will be sent registered. The cost is paid for by the buyer and should be factored into the price you are after. By doing this the scammers won't bother as they know they won't get away with it.

I never knew how much of a rip off paypal was until my recent phone purchase.... i noticed they got the exchange rate wrong by 5%, and then once the faulty phone was retuened and i got my refund from the seller (no dispute) I was short by more than $18AUD (from a purchase of $299USD)

How the **bleep** can it cost more than a bank transaction ($2 from non affiliated ATM) for any amout is beyond my **bleep**ing imagination. i demand not just an answer but MY **bleep**ING MONEY **bleep**, this is not a service but a scalping agency. No transaction occured basically, and im out of cash. when i purchased the phone, exchange rate was 0.95 now its 0.92... so i should have paid 315AUD (not 329)  and should have recieved back 326AUD (not 311).

I should be $11 richer not $18 poorer, therefore PAYPAL OWES ME $29

If i do not get an email responce ill be seeking legal advice. 10% is unacceptable.

what about  my case 

seller sendds a fraud item with tracking number worth 5 cents in 13cm x15cm envelope , when i purchased a queen bed set for $42 , paypal pressures her so she gets time to send out the littel package so she can keep my money and say she sent the item " as she used tracking??

i sent in pics of the package , and changed dispute to not as described , so then i was told to send back the 5 cent package to china at my own cost and provide tracking , so i did that 3 days ago and now i get email sayiong case closed as tracking number wasnt found 

wellhere u go it china /au tracking site 

its now in china and iam out of pocket $42 plus $15 to post back item 

i rang payapal twice last week and they assured me i was going to be refunded 

ha ha paypal what a joke 

if you bothered to look at the tracking  number i sent you and the websitge you will see the item was returned to china address the fraudulant seller gave you 

its a registered mail and has to be signed by her
