Watch your PayPal.

Just looked at my account and there was an attempted charge back pending. PayPal says they emailed me and the buyer but I never got the mail. It's for a comic I sold on eBay back in APRIL. So old the tracking number is expired. (They expire after 6months for delivery confirmation but can apparently be retrieved). I'm sure I'll keep my $ but I'm still mad and wonder if my money would have been stolen by this chargeback scammer if I didn't notice and take action.

Ebay ID is comix3328. So if you sold to him you might have a chargeback pending.

Are "charge backs" unlimited time-wise? That new eBay expanded return policy is a whopping 180 days. April, 8 months, seems truly insane.

 

Why would a credit card company side with a client who was silent on a goods or service for so long? What possible reason could the credit card user give to reverse the transaction?

You might want to add this name to that ebay insufficiently-whatever-person thread:

I think I've had that happen before

Porky, I hope this works out for you.

 

I'm adding this guy to my block list.

Just another instance that re-affirms my faith in humanity.

Paypal should have an email confirmation sent to the seller once tracking info is added just for future reference. There must be some way you can call PayPal and dispute the case if you find the old receipt number?

I checked and I even got positive feedback from the buyer. There's no way they'll give that guy his money back. I hope.

Given this, I'm fairly certain I'll never sell on eBay again. I'll have a legitimate yard sale first.

 

This is TOTALLY NUTS for buyer safety. to the point that its actually too much risk for a seller to take this kind of risk on.

You know who's gonna make a ton of money? The guy who figures out how to locate a person online and find out exactly where they live

Yeah, this is way over the line.

I'm pretty sure Porky already knows exactly where the guy lives ...

 

Time for a CGC BEAT DOWN CREW?!?

PayPal hasn’t exactly improved lately.

I am not into commerce, but even for my small transactions I think I will try Stripe. They have an italian version in private beta.

It may not be Paypal necessarily, since April is way beyond what they allow you to claim.

However, if he paid using his credit card through Paypal (as opposed to his Paypal funds directly) he may be claiming the chargeback through his Credit Card company, and Paypal is just passing that nice little surprise on to you. A chargeback directly through a credit card company has a much longer timeline.

Is it possible to know when accepting paypal if the payment is funded from the actual paypal account or a credit card?
