Can someone on the forum please respond and help me with my "An unauthorized account activity claim was recently filed against the following transaction. "  Paypal really needs to protect sellers from scammers. I have read Paypal rules, and it says there is no Buyer protection on DIGITAL goods, infact it is disapprove of doing it. This buyer did it Via PERSONAL GIFT. Then he filed for unauthorized account activity so he can scam my Digital goods while asking for his money to be refunded. ... View more

Recently, PayPal received a notification from a user regarding unauthorized access to his PayPal account. As a result, one of the payments credited to your PayPal account has been placed in a temporary hold while we investigate the claim.  PayPal constantly monitors transactions for unauthorized use of accounts in order to maintain the safety of our users. The details of this transaction are as follows: Transaction Date: Jun 10, 2012 Transaction Amount: $90.00 USD ------------------------------------ I have sold Digital goods, Diablo 3 gold via paypal.  I have skype log of the transaction, Screenshots of the trade, and I even have the players gametag. The thing is, there is an easy way to scam legitimate by simply doing the  "An unauthorized account activity claim"   https://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5589545884?page=1     This here is a thread about people being scammed by Paypal users who create multiple Paypal accounts and bipass trades by saying "An unauthorized account activity claim".   I sold to this person twice for $90. So that is $180 of my digital worth gold. He simply spams "An unauthorized account activity claim". claims to paypal and my Paypal money is held by Paypal. I Currently sent my source of the sales, but I don't think Paypal investigators will even look at it. So here are screenshots of my Paypal trades, as you can see I have never had my money held before. So please Paypal forum readers, check into this. Scammers are getting away with it using your own company to do it. My trades give paypal % cut so I am under the Digital goods sellers protection. Please do something about this.   *image removed (displays full names)*   ... View more
