Paypal negative balance - can they take it?
Darren:
Nick, it'a a lot worse than I think you are describing .... for one thing those conning buyers can't be left bad feedback.
It's not an over seas buyers thing, it happens here just the same .....
Here's on for you that came up today, you can sift through the rest if it interests you

I'm sorry to hear of your dilemma Chris....
Here's what happened to me....
I came across a debit on my PP account for an Ipod phone, which was being sold by a seller in Manchester...
The buyer was someone from Hungary or somewhere like that...
I emailed the seller saying I hadnt bought the goods and my account was the subject of a fraudulent act which I reported to Ebay and PP...
To ensure the funds didnt leave my bank I cancelled the direct debit and told PP...They tried to claim back the funds
from the seller which weren't mine....I tried to explain that no money had been taken from me....( how this mess got
started is beyond me...)
I threatened them that I would escalate the issue with Paypal if they didnt re-instate my account....Didnt make a
ha'peth of difference....
The seller retained the goods and the money which appeared from nowhere...the buyer got
nothing and I had to set up another DD with PP and my bank...
Bottom line for me....Dont accept Paypal payments for anything from anyone....
dsquire:
Hi Gang
I have never used Ebay or PayPal so I have no personal experience with it. I decided a long time ago before MadModder was even in existence that I would not be using either one of them.
I have read Darrens post before on here so I know that he has been scr??ed over royally by them as have others. I followed the link that Darren posted and read a bunch of the questions and answers about apparently legal organized robbery. :doh: :doh:
After reading that I have come to the conclusion that anybody that continues to use that system after reading about it should not whine or complain as they knew what to expect. It boggles the mind that some people will just keep asking for more, more, more and then wonder why. :lol: :lol:
Thats my 2 cents worth CASH not PayPal :poke:
Cheers :beer:
Don

Have to agree with you on this one Don. :thumbup:
I've never or will I ever use either of those venues for buying. If everybody that uses PayPal would quite using it, I bet it would straighten this out in a hurry. I always say, "Hit 'em in the pocket book".
I love using cash. It's untraceable. :clap:

Darren:
Well it's easy for those that don't use or need these services to sit on the fence casting opinions.
The real facts are much harder to deal with ..... the rest of us have been "forced" to use them esp PayPal.
Saying "I won't" so it must be your fault shows a real mis-understanding of the whole situation in my opinion.
