I paid for a deposit for a tattoo however the guy asked me to send as a transfer to a personal PayPal instead of business. He has really messed me around so I want to get my deposit back but PayPal won't let me dispute the payment as it's not classed as goods or services. However can I report him for using PayPal in this way? Does this mean he is breaching the rules of PayPal by doing this?
Well he should not sell and ask for payment via family / friends BUT its your word against his, you are saying that it was for a deposit and he could say you just sent him a "gift" for money owed.
Advice is voluntary. Kudos / Solution appreciated.
Yeah I know that and I realise I may not get my deposit back but he's doing this with every payment so surely there is some way to report him? I mean surely he will owe PayPal money or something?
It is certainly something that we would look into. Why don't you send us a message on Twitter @AskPayPal or on Facebook www.Facebook.com/PayPalUK with the details.
All you need to do is click the 'contact' tab at the bottom of your account, 'email us' on the right hand side of the page and choose a topic and sub-topic for your email.
