PayPal Community

I was looking for a small beer cooler for my garage. I found one brand new for almost $100 include shipping. Sounds like good deal. Half price for that. Its was some unknown website. I see they accept payment through paypal so I bought it. I thought even if its scam paypal would protect me. I setup text notifications through usps with the tracking number. I got text message says its been delivered to my front porch. I checked my front porch but it was not there. I also have ring camera and It did not record anything. So there was no motion at all. I thought that might be usps mistake so waited longer but did not have anything. Went to post office next morning they told me that it's been delivered another address. The same zip code with me. But totally different address. They said they cant give me paper proof where it's been delivered for security reasons. The receipt does not say exact address. It only says my town name and my zip code. Then the receipt says light weight box about 1 lbs. The cooler cant be that light. Must be at least 20-30 lbs. Then I figured that I got scammed. Anyways I contact the seller, no response for a week. I escalated to PayPal and they denied me right away. They said Its been delivered to my front porch. I called post office again ask for the proof they said they would call me back. They did not call me back. The seller probably shipped an empty box to different address but the same zip code with me. He knew what he was exactly doing. I told the paypal agent to ask more proof to seller where it's been shipped. They still want proof from me. I will go to post office in the morning to see what else I can get from them. I have been using paypal for more than 10 years. I will probably stop using it. I already deleted all my credit card information. PayPal protects scammers ... View more
