Re: Another chargeback victim.

I sure do. I sent a copy of it. Like I said though, it's not up to PayPal or their seller protection. It's up to the credit card company. And Paypals childish protection program is a little breadcrum against a credit card company. And in the end, credit card companies 99.99999% will never go against their own client. So unless PayPal takes the hit, which is the last thing they'll do, the seller gets nailed. With or without seller protection, sent to PayPal address or not, sellers lose from what I've seen ...

   Hahha unfortunately, I don't lose anything lol cause idc about it. And it must **bleep** for the COUNTLESS sellers who were covered under that crappy protection program, because they were found at fault too. So, in conclusion, with OR without seller protection playground, your still a victim. Why? Because even with all the evidence PowerSellers had on eBay, shipped to confirmed addresses, archived messages, and what not.. they still were victim because nor eBay or PayPal really fights for you. And ultimately, the decision comes down to the credit card company... and in the history of chargebacks, how many Credit Card companies went against their client, and chose some random seller? NEVER. Best thing is to move away from these services. Like me, I do not use them. ... View more

    There is nothing you can do. I think you were yet another victim of this chargeback epidemic where buyers steal your item, and get their money back at the same time. I just fell vicitm. Even covered under protection programs or not. With evidence or no evidence. Sellers are always victims. PayPal doesn't back us up, credit card companies will obviously side with their clients and we get no protection because PayPal won't go against credit card companies either. So better to stick it to the seller. I'm not paying my fraudback chargeback. Nor is anyone else who fell victim, because these sellers sold items worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. No seller is an idiot to lose thousands of dollars and lose their item, no way. ... View more

   NO, nothing. Sellers are victims to this new PayPal chargeback fraud, even IF they are "covered" under the so called Seller Protection Program. No seller is safe, no matter how much evidence they have to support their case. This is one thing I learned reading through here. Sellers with mountains of evidence and being covered under seller protection programs are still vicitms and found responsible to pay some sort of high balance which I was just victimized as well. I am trying to close both eBay and PayPal accounts, will tell a few companies who use PayPal as a merchant to switch, and the other friends to no longer use these companies. Its alllll about money, nothing to help their sellers out. ... View more

Another chargeback victim.

    I am simply amazed with this chargeback fraud which PayPal is 100% apart of. Curious how they split it up. I've noticed sellers "covered" under the Seller Protection Joke, still are found responsible even with a mountain of evidence to support their case. Well, I fell victim to it. I sold a camera recently, $ 3,000.00 and a few weeks later, the buyer posted a chargeback. Big surprise. Apparently I wasn't covered because I shipped the item to a different address than what was posted in the transaction details. The buyer told me he lived in RI, and said the camera was a gift for his daughter in Georgia, so I shipped it there. Well, camera is gone, PayPal withdrew imaginary money from my account cause I had a 0.00 balance (sort of like the treasury with imaginery money) and wants me to pay 3,000.00 lol so lose in total of $6,000.00 😠 I think not. After seeing sellers in the same situation as me, even being covered under that crappy Seller Program, I see I'm not alone. I will NEVER use eBay & PayPal ever again, close my accounts, there won't be 0.01 cent going towards this fraud. Unfortunately, the buyers financier will never side with sellers, so we're always screwed.      What I've noticed: Buyers wait at least a few weeks or month to gain the positive feedback so that they can continue to scam more sellers. Once you leave feedback, that's it. Sellers, be careful leaving feedback! Even buyers with over 300 positive have been known chargeback scammers. And best of all, avoid using eBay. Looks like NO payment methods are secure. It went from fraudulent money orders/grams/checks and they got to PayPal. And PayPal is siding with them blowing steam saying their fighting for the sellers lol.. and it just happens that 95% of chargebacks go against the sellers EVEN when covered under their flimsy Seller Protection Program and sellers are all victims. From Power Sellers, to beginners, no one is safe from chargebacks! ... View more
