Google Adwords at this moment. The product is a hosting plan. Just a shared hosting. No need to ship, since its digital goodies. Automatic activation after payment. Yeah, i had 2 payments and later got "buyer did not authorize purchase". Same guy did use someone else bank account. First payments in my life, didn't know about that stuff. Later got chargeback fee, but PayPal explained the whole situation and I got money back. We are using ISPSystem for accepting payments. Here is information from our billing system. Looks pretty fishy. ... View more

Hi, i already contacted with PayPal via email, but i am still pretty mad. So i sell digital services and got next message: "The buyer stated that they did not authorize this purchase." It looked fishy, because client just did put money and balance and thats all. So i did include all screenshots and information about user. This was second payment i received via PayPal and it was 36 euros. I didn't touch money on my PayPal balance and waited PayPal to resolve this problem. Today i got email: >We did not receive the necessary documentation we requested from you, so we were unable to dispute the case with your buyer’s financial institution. Well alright, then i look at my balance its -36 euros. What the **bleep**? So PayPal gives back money from my account to customer and asks +36 euros from me? Seriously? Where is logic? ... View more
