Paypal took my money without true cause/evidence!

by Stabier Contributor in How to use PayPal (Archive)

So I sold my WoW account to this person, he/she paid via paypal, alls good $900.00, then I give the account via msn messenger, I have the logs showing this taking place, alls good.  a few days goes by, I get my check in the mail from  paypal, $500 (limit) for the month, alls good.  Then the buyer claims it was an UNAUTHORIZED transaction, (in the middle of the night) without ANY EVIDence supporting the claim, within a couple hours BEFORE EVEN I WOKE UP at about 7 am, paypal closes the claim and gives MY money back to the buyer, without letting me provide evidence AND then saying since I cashed the check for $500 that I owe them that money, even though it is now officially my money... Is this even legal?  They haven't taken legal procedures against me yet... But can they?  Because to me, all they are is the one shifting the money about, they take a fee, and move it along unless it has to do with ebay, but this isn't, outside of ebay, via craigslist, well is there any legal obligation that I have to give the money to paypal when they had no right to (try to)take it back in the first place?  What is your input? thx. -Stabier ...

Same thing happened to me, a person bought an WoW account from me for $900, I gave the info, all is well, then after I even got the check from paypal for the month in my hand, that same person claimed unauthorized claim, so paypal WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE, gave the money back to the person, telling me I owe paypal, since I am now in the negative, and the case was closed within like... 3 hours, of the buyer's claim, all this happened in the middle of the night! Paypal basically fascilitated the theft. ...

Wow... a buyer bought an item from me for $900, I sent it to em, and then about 5 days later they claim they didn't authorize this transaction, this is after I asked paypal to give me my check, which I received and cashed, so paypal takes $900 out of my account, there was only about 450 or something in it, so now I am in the negative, they say I owe paypal... Without any evidence from the buyer they just gave the money back to them, the buyer basically stole from me, and paypal fascilitated the theft, they opened the case like 1 in morning and before I woke up at about 7 in the morning they closed it, and end of story, so all in all, I'd say paypal supports thieves and customer abuse, at least when it comes to the sellers, they promote thievery when it comes to the buyers ripping the sellers off. anyways thought I'd let the world know of this crime that paypal committed. -**bleep** off ...

Re: so apparantley paypal can take my money?

yeah, Paypal took my money, even though I requested and just got my check, the buyer claimed there was an unauthorized transaction when of course, he/she did the transaction and then got the product and said they never authorized the transaction. What does paypal do? Takes the money I earned gives it back to the buyer, lets the buyer keep the item, and now says I owe them $450, they took the rest of the money in the account and more saying that I owe them BECAUSE I withdrew $500 out, even though it was my hard earned money, they now say I owe them, which in other words, I would say they, paypal, just stole $900 from me. ...
