PayPal scammers make millions. Here's how. Sammers advertise a tv for sale for $95 (a two year old model so its plausible). Payments are made to scammers paypal merchant account. Scammer sends an empty envelope with tracking number to a different address but with the same zip. The buyer tracks the package by usps it shows as delivered. Buyer submits a claim to PayPal the merchant (scammer) submits the tracking number as delivered. PayPal closes the case. Buyer is out the money. Buyer may assume the tv was stolen as it shows as delivered. If the buyer is lucky he can ask a sympathetic postmaster to check the address to find out an envelope not a tv with the same tracking number was delivered to another address. PayPal says get a letter from USPS to that regard. Buyer goes back to USPS to find out that they can't give you that information for privacy reasons. Scammer keeps the money. PayPal is complicit and makes their transaction % and the buyer is SOL. Great scam. Why would anyone work for a living when scamming is this easy. You just need no morals and paypal. I was scammed. Shame on PayPal.
