Sounds to me like a scam.  What might happen is you will refund the amount, they will then dispute the payment, and you will get taken for the amount.  If they dispute the payment, go to your resolution center there, the incident will be recorded there, you can then answer there.  DO NOT refund the payment outside of the dispute if it is already started.  PayPal is set up to handle incidents like this and they should be handled in the proper way, In this case, since you said he has already started the dispute process, it needs to be handled through that process.    No matter what he says, PayPal will instruct you according to what information you submit on the "resolutions" page.  PayPal has the final say, NOT the other person.  Ask PayPal for assistance in how to proceed and do that.  It will then be on record, and if any issues arise they will already know about the incident.   ...

I understand that PayPal has a limit for how many "Pay Later" transactions they accept in any given day/week/month.  I am not sure if this is self imposed or US federally imposed.  It sounds to me like they hit their limit, and you were refused for no other reason than that.  PayPal has rules and regulations they have to abide by, the same as any other financial institution.    I would contact PayPal support by going to PayPal.com, click "help" scroll down to "contact us" click that and use phone, email, or chat to submit your issue.  Make sure to include the transaction ID number.  They will then advise you as to what happened and why.  But based on what you have said, it sounds to me like they hit their daily limit, and had to refuse the payment.   Have you tried the purchase again?  I would, chances are it will succeed this time.   ...

I take it that this individual impersonated "Winnie [removed]" and you sent Winnie some cash only to discover that this "woman" had one more appendage than you were expecting?   When on a dating site, and someone requests financial help in ANY way, there should be one answer "NO".  I am speaking from experience here.    It is not the responsibility of PayPal to verify the identity of the receiving party.  If the transfer was made in good faith by you, authorized by you, then PayPal fulfilled it's purpose.  As bad and as lousy as it is to get scammed, it sounds as though PayPal did what you expected them to do, and as such, it is not their issue.   If Winnie had turned out to be Winnie and everything worked out, would you still be having this conversation?  If the answer is "no" then the issue is on your head and not PayPal's.  They did as you asked, transferred the funds as you asked. Chalk it up to a learning experience, and move on.  Learn from your mistakes and don't get taken again.  I had to, and I haven't.   ... View more
