I thought PayPal's buyer protection would protect me from scammers, but it is the other way around. It also seems that individual sellers scammed by buyers are also left holding the bag. I had a terrible experience and so I decided to write about it. If you want to contribute your experience, please contact me through my website at christinemcondo.com/contact.php.

I thought PayPal's buyer protection would protect me from scammers, but it is obviously the other way around. A clearly fraudulent seller who has undoubtedly received tons of complaints was treated like an honest broker and I was left with cheap crap I would have had to pay exorbitant shipping costs to return. I had a terrible experience and so I decided to write about it. If you want to contribute your experience, please contact me through my website at christinemcondo.com/contact.php.

I thought PayPal's buyer protection would protect me from scammers, and also bought products from a site with apparent veracity that the seller is so confident in their ability to perpetrate their scam that it is still up and still placing fraudulent ads for it on Facebook. As such, a clearly fraudulent seller who has undoubtedly received tons of complaints was treated like an honest broker and I didn't discover otherwise until it was "too late" to cancel my items because they had "already shipped" even though I didn't get a tracking number until weeks later and the items (cheap junk) took five months to reach me.

I thought PayPal's buyer protection would protect me from scammers, but it is definitely the other way around. A clearly fraudulent seller who has undoubtedly received tons of complaints was treated like an honest broker. I received cheap crap that looked nothing like what I bought (supposedly from the UK) that I would have to pay to return to China for my "full" refund even though the return shipping costs all but eclipsed what I have paid for my items. I had a terrible experience and so I decided to write about it. If you want to contribute your experience, please contact me through my website at christinemcondo.com/contact.php.

I thought PayPal's buyer protection would protect me from scammers, but it is the other way around! And apparently, the same goes for individual sellers.

I thought PayPal's buyer protection would protect me from scammers, too, but it is the other way around! A clearly fraudulent seller who has undoubtedly received tons of complaints was treated like an honest broker and I was left with cheap crap that would have been prohibitively expensive to return. PayPal sided with the seller because they offered a "full" refund (less the costs of shipping, natch). The items took five months to reach me; there's no way they would get back to the seller (even if the shipping address in China was legit, which, having read several of these articles, I seriously doubt) before the end of the dispute period. I got burned and decided to write about it. If you want to contribute your experience, please contact me through my website at [removed]. All responses will be anonymized to protect your privacy. ...

I see you replying a lot to people by defending PayPal's policies, including their arduous and frequently useless dispute process and telling people to take it up with their credit card company.   PayPal's main selling point has always been buyer protection, and one might be forgiven for assuming that covers being scammed. The numerous articles in this thread about scammers being protected instead of buyers indicates otherwise, and your responses claiming PayPal has "done all they can" are starting to sound a bit credulous.   Clearly, PayPal buyers think PayPal will assume some liability; if this isn't the case, people should know about it. I am a writer and I am writing an article about PayPal's buyer protection. As you clearly work for the company, I would like to interview you so I can get a better idea of the ins and outs of this process. Your anonymity will be protected.
