Re: Dispute Closed Without Explanation

I suggest you Contact PayPal by Phone - if you haven't already... Using the Online Method is a Bit, Like Using 2 Tin Cans and a Sting...  Additionally, I'm Not Sure I agree with Your Reason Being "Unauthorized Activity" =being you did Authorize the Payment. Perhaps,  it could be "Fraud"? However; I'm Curious in Your Dispute, if it said PayPal, was "Waiting for Information from the Seller"; and if there was a Tracking #... I might suggest a Different Dispute Reason.. such as "Not Arrived" or "Faud"- if that's an Option. But a Phone Call is the BEST WAY to EXPLAIN the SITUATION. I  not able to post their Phone Number - as it's removed when I try[Removed. Phone #s not permitted] Google: talk to a human at paypal ADDITIONALLY, You might want to "Make Your Own Post" -as  this a BIT OLD.. and You, May get More, Experienced Help from the Community, as a New Post. ...

Today, I Called PayPal. I was in the Que for about 10-15 minutes... And when the Pre-Recording Stopped - I had to Say "Hello", Several Times, and I was about to Hang Up, because there was only Silence.. Then Finally I heard Something. I Again, Said Hello.. and told them I could not hear them...Then they spoke up.. and we were Communicating.. I Explained this Purchase - Which the Rep. had asked me to Provide more Information along with Photos.. Which I was HAPPY TO DO...  Only a Few Hours Later, and I SEE A FULL REFUND!!!!   This was so Heart Breaking for me! Thank You So Very Much...  And for Your Suggestions 🙂 ... View more

The Purchase was in Part - Made with a PayPal Deposit of $1.95 for a Class Action Settlement Deposit.- which when I try to Open a Dispute for that Payment - I get a  MESSAGE - Unable to Complete Your Request "We're Sorry, You Can't File a Case for this Type of Transaction..." as well.

I made a Purchase, which was Supposed to be for a "High Value Electronics Box" What came was 4 LOW VALUED - USED/RETURNED items that were CRAP! I Opened a Dispute but PayPal Closed it and Never gave any Explanation.

I want to Thank You, kernowlass !!! You have Regularly - Replied to my Posts, with Good, Honest, and Helpful Information. I had tried the Message Center on PayPal, but there was No Attendant Available.  I also Left Feedback for this Issue on the "Case Resolved" Link. I have Contacted Facebook with a Private Message, as you Suggested - However; It Doesn't Appear to me, that there is a "LIVE PERSON"... My Message to them to Please Review the Dispute with a Link to this Post-  Their Reply: "Sorry, I don't understand " "You can search in the PayPal Help Center or tell me which topic can I help you with" It's Practically a FULL TIME JOB, to try to get Acknowledged; let alone a Fair and OPEN Resolution. Thank YOU!!!  ... View more

I Placed an Order from a Facebook Ad.  - AUG 6 2021 It was Supposed to be a "High Value Electronics Box" for 149.99 USD <removed> When the Package arrived it had 4 items - None-Nor All Combined, I would Consider High Value! Additionally these items were Not New. The Boxes were Not Sealed, Damaged, and Appeared to be Missing at least 1 item. In FACT -I could have Purchased them from Different Sellers, which were New and/or BETTER,  Similar Products - For Less than Half the Cost. When I Contacted the Seller within 24 Hours of Receiving the Package - They Would Not Offer Return Shipping and a Refund. The Webpages for the Link to the "High Value Electronics Box" which it States on the INVOICE, were Removed / Changed! I Opened a Dispute with PayPal on Aug. 23rd- Within 24 Hours after the Seller's Reply for: "Item Not as Described"  "Missing/Damaged". I Made a Video with a Link for the Dispute - to Show the Problems (which seems to be BLOCKED and/or NOW REMOVED on this Site and PayPal!) and Submitted a Picture *You can find the Video on UTUBE by Searching Luckyicode. In the PayPal/Dispute Details (last night), it said: Waiting for the Sellers Reply and/or Reviewing  Information from the Seller, and if We Need More Information - We'll Reach Out ! Estimated Time to Close the Dispute by PayPal, was to be in 12 Days, on Sept 11. However, Today; I see the Dispute has been CLOSED - and There is NO INFORMATION!     Now, I can Only "Report a Problem" for 2 Options: "I want to report unauthorized activity/ I have a Billing Issue." I'm Getting Tired of Using this Service and I Use it Less Often. PayPal, "Really Does Not": "Protect My Purchase" <removed> ... View more

I don't log in to PayPal very often, but today I seem to be STUCK at the Log In Page to ADD A CELLPHONE #. I DON'T see any Option but to ADD a Cell Phone #- to have them send a CODE... 1. Thing is I don't have a Cell Phone, that I use... SO- How do I Get By this? 2. I know the BANK is Using the Same Process with My Home Phone to SEND a VERIFICATION CODE which I MUST ENTER EVERY TIME>.. and it's GETTING TO BE A PAIN IN MY **bleep**.   Personally, I'm VERY OPPOSED to GIVING OUT INFORMATION.. Yet; All these BIG GUYS, like the BANKS, PAYPAL, FACEBOOK, etc... are FORCING THE INFORMATION.... 3. Additionally by the SECRET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.. Where were you Born.. Your Mother's Maiden Name?   ISN"T THE BEST WAY TO KEEP CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION- ""CONFIDENTIAL"" - IS TO NOT GIVE IT OUT.. and ESPECIALLY WITH ONLINE CRIME BEING COMMON? So, I decided to Log In to the PayPal Community..  Thoughts on this "VERIFICATION" and How to BY PASS IT...and the TOPIC OF PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTAL INFORMATION? Thanks, Darren ... View more

It's Not the Sellers that are Refunding Lesser Amounts- It's the Difference that PayPal is Keeping for Conversion Fees for Transactions that Do Not Materialize.   ... View more

I Just Commented on the Same thing in a Different Post- but had my Comment Deleted. I'll REITERATE: I Do Not Believe the Seller has any Control over PayPal Issuing a Refund. I've ordered some fabric on May 14th from China- which has not arrived. I filed a Dispute with PayPal for Item Not Received on Aug.26th (3 1/2 Months) the Seller also Submitted the Tracking Information on Aug. 26th.... But PayPal, Keeps Pushing the Date Forward (Aug 31/Sept 3/ Sept 9/ Sept. 12th..for a Resolution.. but I don't see any NEW Information I'm tired of Having My MONEY TIED UP.. (For Various Reasons) and being Short Changed Sometimes by PayPal - Because they have been Keeping Conversion Frees _ Though Sometimes items are Ordered in My Own Country and I believe Therefore Should Not be Subject to a Conversion Free! Now with this Pandemic You Can't even get a REAL PERSON. ... View more
