I recently purchased an iPhone 8plus. When I initially clicked buy it now on ebay the seller had certain conditions and immediatlry refunded the amount. He claimed he could only take payments through paypal as a gift in order to avoid fees. The phone was listed as 490 but I ended up paying 505 US dollars. When I tried to open a claim on ebay they are not letting me becuase on eay it looks like the payment was immediatley refunded. Since it is a gift payment buyer protection doesn't count, but I was scammed. I have proof of this being a conditional gift, which according to US law out weighs Paypal's policies. The seller deleted his ebay account and ebay said I'd have to go through paypal. I'm currently 500 dollars in the hole and have no way out. PLEASE HELP!!!!
