Payment details Receiving PayPal account email: <removed>
Amount: 6366.88 AUD
Reference/message: L44498446BQHR7Y
this person in local bitcoins known as SBSR, with real name Shawn <removed>, with email address <removed>
and with proper paypal account managed to get the money back from Paypal and kept my bitcoins and I am here trying to het help from someone within the bigger community as Paypal Australia don’t want to help
When I received the notification from Paypal saying that they have refunded the AUD6366.88 to the buyer of the bitcoins, I called Paypal and their answer was that I had lost the money and they could not do anything...
do you or anybody consider this as a fair resolution or as a reasonable process... Paypal Australia did not want to help, they just said that I lost the money...
I asked them why they reversed the funds and their answer was that the bank of the payer requested the money back and that Paypal did not need to inform me before acting...
does this sound fair or honest to anyone.
As the Australian Paypal officers did not want to help, I sent a letter to Paypal global a bit more than one week ago but Paypal has not answered yet.....
what do I do now, anybody there has similar experience and maybe able to help me?
Message from Paypal telling me that they have taken the liberty of refunding the funds
