PayPal business confirm identity

Hey there, after years on PayPal I decided to create a small little business revolving around a video game. I had been receiving a high amount of money ($3000+) and got this message in my notifications: In compliance with the regulatory requirements in Canada, we need to confirm your personal and business identity. However, I am still able to send and receive money even though it’s asking me to confirm business identity. Is it mandatory? ... View more

PayPal Scammer - Bank chargeback

by Wenster Contributor in Managing Risk and Fraud Archives
‎Apr-02-2019 01:39 PM
‎Apr-02-2019 01:39 PM
Hey there, Basically a few weeks ago I sold my assets to a buyer online. He reported it as Unauthorized to try and take his money back/scam me, but PayPal found out he was lying by checking his IP or something.    However, today he makes the SAME Unauthorized claim, but with his bank - and it instantly gets approved without me having ANY say. So I lose $772 without even going through a case. It even states that once cases are closed, they can't be re-opened.   What should I do? ... View more

Randomly charged $82.30 and now negative.

Earlier today I had a balance of +$3.60ish Canadian and have NOT TOUCHED my account since, however  I get back home today and my balance is -$82.30. There is no trace of the reasoning behind this on my activity log, and the only thing I can find is a "Bank Account Failed to link" email and a "Notification of balance transfer".   What do I do?   Notification of balance transfer email: PayPal has made a transfer between the balances in your account due to the following reason: Our policy of converting negative to positive balances. The following transfers were made: Negative balance : -$86.19 CAD Covered From : $2.90 USD (1 U.S. Dollar = 1.34060 Canadian Dollars)  Thanks, PayPal     _______ Thanks, Riley.   ... View more

@kernowlass  Thanks for the response. I don't really know how he sent it. I think that option is view able on the buyers side?   Anyways, I'm wondering if he is NOT successful with the chargeback, and I get all my money back, is he able to open it again? Possibly through his bank?   Kind regards,  Riley ... View more

Thanks for the response! A little bit of an update, the scammer decided to report it as "Unauthorized" and I've went into negative balance. However I can see that the case still says "Under PayPal Review". Does this mean I still have a chance of getting my money back?   Also how do Unauthorized claims work? Like he can just say he didn't do it, and get's his money back? Or is there like an IP check or someway to validate it.   Thanks,  Riley ... View more

I sold something to someone online, he paid the amount using PayPal - but using his bank for the funds. He is now threatening me to chargeback/dispute through his bank in attempts to scam me. What should I do in this case? ... View more

PayPal Chargeback Help - refund cancelled?

Long story short, I loaned someone $500 USD and it never got paid back. He dragged me on for months but I've had enough and just wanted my money back. We agreed to a refund via chargeback. As the refund was in process, he decided to cancel the refund. What do I do? I need to take the money forcefully.   Regards, Riley ... View more
