So I sold and iPhone 5 last weekend, got suspious of the buyer right away. He kept asking for the IMEI number as well as numerous other questions, anyway he didnt pay until I opened an unpaid buyer case on him. Noticed that his name was different than the name under my ebay summary page and different on the paypal transaction page. So googled his address, sure enough he is a known scammer. So I call him out on this and he wants to cancel the order, cool with me. However I reported him to ebay, and because of that I cant cancel the order. Now he already paid, so he wants a refund. I beleive I can do it directly via paypal, however here is my concern. If he used a stolen credit card to pay via paypal, if I refund him. He'll get the money, but I still might have a dispute on my hands regarding a stolen credit card. Does that sound about right? The money he sent me is still in my paypal account, so I just want to get rid of it and be done, however I want to make sure I am taking all the steps to make sure I dont lose out on money here.
