i am willing to bet you are a liar.   Wrong.  I run a courier, a wholesale company and an online retail store.     my aunt has spent some time going over your replys on this forum   Really.  Can't your read the replies yourself?     when i contacted her about the fraud your company lets go on, she wasnt that eager to help.   That's because she knows it's not fraud.   if paypal has anything to do with your rude ways, this could get huge.   I don't see how that could be, but don't let me stop your fantasies.     her freinds at dateline NBC will cover the scam problem with ebay selling auction time and letting us sell with no returns   Her "friends" are aware of the defamation laws - once they check their facts, they're going to realize that yoour allegations are just hot air.     you will have to deal with her the senior producer at fox news in NEW YORK. she gave me her word that you will be exsposed   First it was NBC news, now it's Fox News - make up your mind, already.  You're obviously making this up as you go along.     keep in mind. your being watched.   By such as you?  I need not worry, then.         BTW, look up the term, "credible threat".  because you don't make them.           ...

You had better phone Paypal immediately about this and get it straightened out.  Their number comes up when you click on 'contact us'.   What you have done is called "double-dipping" and it can get you banned from Paypal permanently. ... View more

If the buyer does not respond, he may win or lose.   As a seller you have no protection from Paypal - if this is a dispute, you may be sunk.   If it is a chageback, then it's up in the air.   Be aware that Credit Card companies almost always find in favour of their buyer on a provisional basis, so they can get their hands on the money for safe-keeping while they make their real decision in about 75 days.   Kahuna's case is the exception, not the rule.  He likely won because he submitted all the evidence he needed, organized in a logical format to prove the buyer received the goods to a CC Company that saw it his way.  Good job. ...

Because you are defending PAYPAL so much like PAYPAL is your Employer.   A lot of buyers are getting scammed and You dont even care. SHAME on You.   A lot of people are getting "scammed" because they don't bother to read the rules.   I have no sympathy for people that care so little for their money that they don't even bother to ducate themselves on how to protect their own money.  You might as well stamp "VICTIM" on your forehead so that others can see the suckers walking around.   And I am not a Paypal employee. ...

It prevents a lot of scammers from operating on ebay because they can't grab the money and run.   It pretty much works, too - the scammers have moved elsewhere. ... View more

Legally, your situation is a "not as described" situation.   The seller has a legal duty to ensure that the package arrives at your door in the condition that the listing described it.  It didn't.   File the dispute here;   http://res.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ResolutionCenter&cf=20   (ebay is now handling disputes that aris from sales on their site)   You'll likely have to return the empty envelope to the seller, but wait for Paypal to tell you to do so - there might be a Post Office investigation first and they'll want that package to view ( the seller may have insured it).   When you do return the package, make sure that you send it with Delivery confirmation, which you can purchase from the Post Office.     Just a word of caution-   I know the seller seems very nice ( that'll likely change when the dispute is filed), but you don't know for sure that they even sent the items.  I think they likely did ( most sellers are honest and this does sound like a Post Office issue instead), but you can never be sure, that's why we follow the legal route.   Don't feel badly about exercising your legal rights here and don't let the seller give you a sob story about your exercise of your legal rights.  For $10, the seller could have sent the items in a Flat Rate Priority box instead of a flimsy envelope and saved themselves all this hassle.  They didn't, so they pay the price for it.   You'll also get back your original shipping, but you'll have to pay the cost of shipping the item back to the seller, btw. ...

No, there isn't.   Why aren't you using Delivery confirmation?  It's cheaper than refunds. ... View more

I got a paypal confirmation that they are holding funds until i send a tracking number. This lady also states that she will pay to have it shipped overseas---i'm looking in my paypal account and don't see anything, so where did the payment confirmation come from (btw...my item was being sold on craigs list)   Yours is also a scam - the email from Paypal was a fake - forward it to spoof@paypal.com for confirmation.   Do not ship the items, you're never going to get paid for them.   The scammer will make threats to have your paypal account cancelled and to report you to the FBI  - ignore them. ...

I received an email through eBay that says this: "Hi im looking to buy my son a gift and this and this looks  great and im willing to pay you $645 and thats including  overnight through fedex to brooklyn, ny all i would need is  your paypalemail address"   If it is through paypal, am I protected? If I give him my email address, is there anyway this can bite me? Currently the Droid X is selling for about $500 online, however; mine is slightly different from the rest, as it has an OS upgrade that the rest have not received yet. If it did not have that upgrade, I would know it was a scam, but as is, I am not sure. I dont know that it is worth that much though. Suggestions?   It's a scam - you'll get a fake email from Paypal telling you to enter a tracking number before payment shows in your account.   There is no money and never will be.   If you use Google Maps on the Brooklyn address, it'll show the address doesn't exist - the parcel will be redirected to Nigeria as soon as they have the tracking number. ...
