Hi to all, I will write my case here and i will also make it clear that in my current case, i will not allow paypal to win. In 2014 i bought some Ripple coins from ebay. I had them in my wallet and recently i decided to sell a few. I listed them and after 5 days they were sold. Immediately i got the paypal payment, withdrawn the money to my bank and send the 302 coins to the wallet that was provided through a message by the buyer. After a few hours i got an email that the account of the buyer was hacked and that he did not authorize this transaction. So: 1) Ebay and paypal allows sellers to sell coins and if there is no case opened, they are happy with their 10% commission of the sale. 2) It is not my fault or anyones fault if ebay / paypal are not safe and people's account can be hacked. In my perspective is their responsibility, like any organization of this type. 3) I got the money, i had them in my bank account which means i received it. Now paypal opened a case that they are investigating and that my balance is negative and that i have to pay them. What did i do: 1) I explained to paypal the case and that it is their responsibility and ebay off course. 2) I provided a link from bithomp.com that shows the coins transferred to the wallet that was provided to me. 3) I stopped any automatic payment methods i had with paypal meaning if Airbnb or anyone else pays me, paypal gets nothing as they will "hoover" anything. Paypal and ebay should offer: 1) Security to their customers from hackers and take responsibility for that. 2) Protection to sellers of digital currencies or simply ban this category that they created. It means they are happy with legitimate purchases and get their commission but when a person's account is hacked, they punish the seller. This story with hacked account is all over in a lot of forums and it is kind of fishy that they are so easily hacked and still carry on offering the category of: coins - virtual currency - mining contracts. 3) Understand that by **bleep** sellers is not right and they should offer a responsible solution and pay the buyer on their own since it is their responsibility that the accounts they offers can be hacked. Regards to all, Filios.
