I am an unfortunate recipient of the scam loop hole. I made a thread about selling a 1952 Topps Mathews RC a couple of weeks ago. Buyer filed a charge-back with their credit card company, got refunded, now their credit card co. is in dispute with Paypal to get their money back. Buyer never contacted me to negotiate a refund of any kind. Buyer has possession of the card AND their money back ($1750 card). My case is still in dispute with PayPal. Some board members recommended I get the police involved. I decided to wait on official word from PayPal regarding the conclusion before I pursue alternative action.

This one really sucks. I would contact your local authorities and at least file a report. That buyer should be in jail.

As for PP, they want docs I am not willing to give them in order to leave money there. So I just transfer it right to my bank account. Not a big deal.

I would also add that once you file a report, I would inform Paypal as well that you have done so. Might not do anything beyond indicating to them that you were serious, but it can't hurt.

I had a dispute last year on a small purchase under $10. PayPal told me that it would take several months to go back and forth with the credit card company. I got my money back because the tracking was proof. But that was under $10.

If it was me in your situation I would make it a point to get it resolved today. Call PayPal and tell them that you are out the card and the money. If they don�t do anything to help and say that they can�t, tell them you are going to call the police and do it. The longer you wait the less chance there is of getting it back.
Especially if he moves / cancels credit cards / closes bank account / disappears etc.

You are making a mistake not taking it to the authorities immediately and aggressively. If you wait too long the cops will ignore your request. It has happened to other collectors I know. The cops already tend to minimize theft in the hobby because it is just baseball cards, so it is a joke to them to begin with.
