PayPal eBay chargeback scam. PayPal loophole which...

I have lost £635 and I do not know where to turn to because Paypal will not help I sold an iphone on ebay for £635 on 30th April 2020 which I posted to the buyer. A few days later the buyer opened a papal claim that the phone was not as described (obviously not true) but paypal asked the buyer to return the phone. The buyer provided a tracking number to Paypal as proof of postage, however I did not receive the phone. I went to the Royal mail sorting office and spoke to the manager who gave me a paper copy from the Tracking enquiry system which clearly states that the tracking number was for an item that was requested to be delivered to a postcode 12 miles from where I lived but serviced by the same delivery office. According to paypal, the tracking slip that the buyer provided had my postcode which I’m sure has been doctored or photoshoped Despite providing Paypal with the tracking slip from Royal mail and asking them the dispute handler to review the information,Paypal didn't. I contacted Royal Mail customer services and spoke to a customer services who even sent an email to me copying PayPal to stating the the tracking number provided was for an item sent and delivered to a different address rather than mine yet PayPal turned down my appeal. I have asked PayPal to contact customer services at Royal Mail to ascertain the truth but they won’t. They are more interested in sending generic responses and I can’t speak to anyone. My Paypal account is now in arrears of £635 and the buyer has walked away with a free phone and would likely do this again. I am so frustrated because this is a substantial amount of money which I can not afford to pay in these current circumstances. I need help ... View more

Re: PayPal dispute - eBay purchase (Blacklisted Ph...

I also bought a phone on ebay from ezwaywireless a.k.a. ELC Consultants...(stay away folks). Ebay was in the process of refunding me for this phone that had a 2nd account with unpaid bills. But, because I had previously created a dispute with Paypal through the resolution center, Ebay stopped the manual refund process (manual process because it was over 90 days from purchase date). The case was closed by Paypal not in my favor on 5/31/2020 without contacting me nor checking or explaining to me why the case was not decided in my favor. Then even though the PayPal case was closed, Ebay stops the process of the manual refund on 6/6/2020 which would have been successful had I not logged a complaint with PayPal! So not only did the dispute case with PayPal do nothing to help me get a $621 refund, but they also messed up the chance for me to get a refund through the Ebay process. Note that the Paypal case was closed 5/31/20 well before ebay started the manual return process on 6/5/20. This is an abomination to say the least. Why would a closed dispute case at Paypal have any bearing as to why Ebay would not submit a refund? I am requesting a phone call from someone in charge at PayPal that would be willing to reach out with me to Ebay and get this right. The lack of communication between these two companies has left me in the middle and I have yet to see any refund. Very unhappy with this convoluted process.  ... View more

Another option is to play the seller at their own game. They will sell in future. You can buy from them in future. Just saying. Another option to get back at them. ... View more

Bought an iPhone 11 pro in January 2020 however it was blacklisted last week. PayPal have denied my claim. How is this fair when the seller has reported the phone stolen after selling it to me resulting in the handset being blacklisted. This is fraudulent and not fair. I bought a phone in good faith on ebay knowing that I am protected for at least six months should the seller report the phone stolen in an insurance claim which is what has happened here. How fair is this?  Only the seller can report the phone as being stolen. The frustrating thing is the I can't talk to anyone and the messaging system is terrible I have just received an email from PayPal stating that the claim has not been decided in my favour. This is terrible   Where do I go from here.  ... View more
