Hi,   I'm sure you guys read a million of these messages every day and I thank you for taking the time to help me.   I recently sold my old cell phone on eBay for $270 shipped with Buy It Now. When I first received the payment, PayPal put a temporary hold on the payment--- a "Payment Review". Two days later it was cleared and I received an e-mail stating that it is now okay to ship. His shipping address was confirmed. The guy has 6 feedback on eBay (I have just over 1K) so I decided to purchase Signature Confirmation with the Priority Mail shipment. He received it 2 days after I dropped the phone off at the PO.   That was about two weeks ago. I just received an email this morning from PayPal stating that I have received potentially unauthorized funds and that there is a hold on my account.....   So my question is: 1) What should I do now, if anything? I sent it after PayPal told me it was okay to ship and that I am protected by their "Seller Protection"   2) Why are my funds being held? I have done nothing wrong and have done everything asked by PayPal. I have no legal opportunity to verify whether the credit card is legit or not--- I cannot ask them to send me a scanned copy of their driver's license. I pay a PayPal transaction fee each time to compensate for the cost of PayPal handling the verification of card holders as well as the credit card fees PayPal is charged. The address was confirmed. I did my part. Why am I being punished?   3) Do I have any legal rights? ... View more

So I bought some car tail lights from a seller. He shipped to the wrong address (my house number is 13706, and he shipped it to 13614). I only have one address on file, and it's the correct one.   I filed a chargeback. He provided the tracking number. He won.   Does PayPal even care anymore or do they just check the delivery status, and if the zip code matches, it was shipped to the right place? Really? I just lost $200.   I have filed a chargeback with my credit card. Next step, file a lawsuit against the seller and PayPal. ... View more
