To simply show that a user is making purchases for other people and then making claims for non receipt of item. Based on my dealings with Freddy this is supicious and if this is happening on a regular basis it could possibly be criminal activity I would think Paypal would want to know about it and investigate it.  So since you're an advisor, is there a way to make a report?      ...

I disagree. Freddy wanted a refund before shipipng his item back to me. I can't do that. Before Freddy gave me a negative he made threats that he would get his money back. The fact that the other users purchase was made immediatelty after Freddy gave a negative, and that Freddy paid for his item is, plus starting the Item not Received through Paypal and not through the usual way through ebay which shows the person who Paid (Freddy) started the claim and not the ebay user. All to big of a coincidence. Listing stated First Class International so he knew he could get me. I know First Class international tacking is not available in some countries and I take a chance there but I have had very good success with it so far and very rarely have an issue. It's very easy to be malicious if you want to. I'd like to report it anyway just in case there are other issue with this person I may not know about. If he's done it to me he'll do it to others. How do I report this? ... View more

Being scammed by a ebay buyer

Was wondering how to report a buyer claiming they did not receive the item. Here is the situation:   Had a guy, we'll call him Freddy make a purchase from me on ebay that he was unhappy about but refused to return the item. He left me a negative and that was the end.    A couple of weeks later another ebay user makes a purchase from me and is now claiming item not received. After some checking I see that Freedy paid for that users item and the Item not Recieved notice was started through Paypal by Freddy, not the user on ebay. (Most Item not recieved claims are started through ebay).   This is an obvious revenge act on me by Freddy and need to know how to report him. I see how to report a seller but no place to report a buyer.  Any help is appreciated. thank you! ... View more

Question about the $20K + 200 Transactions rule

Hello, Let's say I'm paying for something on ebay or any other website or private person and I have a zero balance but I have a credit card for back up funds. When I make the payment and Paypal uses my credit card for the transaction, does money go into my account and then paid to the merchant and does this count as "money received" and put me closer to the $20,000 / 200 transaction limit before it is reported to the IRS? thanks for any help! ...

When you listed your item, did you put your paypal address as one of the ways you accept payment? If so he does't need your info. He can just pay through ebay checkout and it goes into your account. ... View more
