Hi, I'm still absolutely shocked. Paypal has just as good as robbed me. I sold an item on ebay first time in 8 years. Due to fraud scam buyer 8 years ago.. so I stopped. Come covid I thought I might as well try ebay again.. can't all be scammers right? Wrong!! So I sold the item, chap messaged me wanted tocome and collect it in person ..that was on my listing collect in person. He messaged lots and then he came and looked it over and was happy. Loaded it in his van and off he went. I left him feed back. That was my biggest mistake. Once I've left the feed back that then triggered the scammer to abuse the system. He then filed a " unauthorised payment" Claiming they never bought the item Even though they turned up in person,to collect it and messaged me on ebay. Then offered a contact number ( mobile ) that matches the business. So I know it's him same voice. Safe in the knowledge that I'm covered and I have done every thing by the book I let paypal do it's thing. I offered screen shots of all our conversations and it clearly shows him asking to come and collect, me asking what time and him offering his mobile number.. but we still chatted by ebay. It even showed the message saying I'm running a bit late as had a blow out on his tyre on the motorway. But no... Stunned.. Paypal sided with the buyer stating no proof of postage 😳😳 1st off the listing clearly stated due to the size and weight it's collection only 2nd he communicated via ebay about when he was coming and that he had a tyre blow out so was running late. This is an absolute disgrace... I'm stunned I'm back 8 years when the scam artists know how to bend they system to gain goods and their money back leaving the genuine seller robbed of the item then robbed by paypal of their money THEN to boot have f$%$@ fees taken as well.. Tell me what to do as I am about to cancel the following and close and walk away forever!! Ebay account both private and business Paypal private account Paypal business account And my izettle by Paypal account for both my businesses So that's 6 accounts connected to paypal I'm about to close as I'm done with a service that is just bent and fraudulent.
