Alrighty- the title says it all- but to recap- sold an item on eBay. Buyer has 10+ positive feedback, no negatives. I ship the item within 2 days of payment. I paid for the shipping label through Paypal/eBay- USPS Priority mail w/ signature confirmation. Basically- I followed all of the steps outlined in the seller protection window for the payment. I am eligible for seller protection clean and clear. I also do enough through paypal that they gave me that "preferred customer" or whatever it's called (faster response times and whatnot). Anyways- the buyer just today files an "unauthorized claim". They never made any effort to contact me. The item was just delivered today (and signed for by the guy that bought it). Now- Paypal put all of those funds on hold. I had already withdrawn some of it to my bank account- so they can't touch that- but they put my account in the red almost $100. This basically means that I gave some eBay stuff away- and me and my daughter will be shorted a good chunk of our Christmas money. This person very obviously is trying to scam me- what else can I do? I responded to the Paypal claim already with the tracking information and whatnot- but I am really getting worried. I can't afford to just give away stuff- especially not this time of the year! What are my chances of getting my money back? I already shipped an item (not to mention paid for shipping, ebay/paypal fees and such on it as well!)
