Hi all I'm now in a dispute over an item ive sold,i had never sold anything using PayPal before and most probably will never again.It started with a man contacting me as i had a advert on gumtree he said can i pay with PayPal i thought thats a bit strange but as i desperately needed the money i accepted.He then said he wanted the item quick as it was a Xmas gift and could get his brother to collect it.Like a complete fool i accepted this and we arranged the pick up over the phone (mobile).I said you can't collect it till the money has arrived in my PayPal account which took a while.The item was collected and some days later i received an email saying something about my PayPal account.Thats when i see he had made out he didn't get the item but for some strange reason the item he mentioned was completely different to what I'd sold.Contacted PayPal they said maybe he'd made a mistake and they would contact him.I also sent him an email and got a rather nasty reply.I assumed that once i had the money in my bank it was safe hahaha what a fool.Im gutted as i had to sell the item to try and get out of debt with my bank what a great Xmas thanks to that xxxx im going to the police to see if there is anything they can do but i have my doubts.Is there anything else that may help ?
