Ok this is a long story. I was selling an ipad on ebay, and this buyer just contacted me asking questions. He also asked me if I am willing to sell the new ipad for $300 and I never replied. And not too long after that which I still haven't replied on, he actually got my phone number from a different listing and called me. He was keep pushing me to make this deal, and I said no. And then he said he wants some advice and information about the ipad in general. I talked to him for at least 30 minutes and he suddenly asked me what my paypal account is. I guess I was too naive to believe that he just wanted a few megazines that I am selling and the advice. About an hour later, he called me again to tell me that he sent the money and I thought it was $50 + additional tips for the time I spent to him. It was actually $300 and he claimed that the money was for the ipad. Now I felt like he was trying to scam me and I got **bleep**. I looked him up and he actually scamed a few people before.(both as a buyer and also a seller) Since I only agreed to sell the megazines over the phone, I just sent him that with a delivery confermation. He got it and started calling me that he would claim a item not as described on paypal and also a charge back from his credit card. So basically, we sent a few emails but I never agreed to sell the ipad for $300. Also I never sent him an invoice though paypal or anyother auction sites, and it was just his decision to send me the money. I was wondering if I can win the dispute, and also wondering what would happen if he claimed a charge back through his credit card. Would I still get the megazines back? or do I just lose the money and the item? Also I got really **bleep** because he started to harass me calling and texting. He said if I don't send the ipad to him, he would contact the credit card company and make them chase me. I don't believe him and I am not scared since I performed everything we agreed and his claim for the item was never from any websites. So I was wondering what would happen and what exactly charge back does. Sorry for the long post but I was really mad and upset for helping this guy. I knew he trying to take advantage from me and I was stupid to even help this scammer. Please let me know thanks.
