I posted a virtual item for sale on craigslist, i had an email shortly after saying the guy was interested. We talked quite a bit through emails, and then decided on a deal. He sent the money, i sent the virtual item. everything seemed fine. I treid to transfer the money to my bank account due to a bill i had due (which was the whole reason i made the sale in the first place) I realize after a few days i still havn't recieved the moeny. i check my paypal account, and the payment to my bank acocunt has been reversed, and the payment i recieved from the asian party was on hold, saying that it was an unauthorized transaction. So now, im looking at overdraft fees from my bank, and im completely broke. I used paypal because it was supposed to be safe, but now im not understanding how it is considered safe when it is so easy for these foriegn people to scam you. I have been using paypal for a good while now, and have never had any issues, but now i have lost all faith in paypal. How is it just to let these people get away with scams unpunished, and **bleep** over the innocent people such as myself. I am so frustrated i can't even think right. Has anyone ever had somone put a hold payment on them, and had the issue resolved in their favor? Theft is theft and should be dealt with accordingly, again i used paypal because it was supposed to be safe and it **bleep**ed me over in the long run.
