I just got burned!!
I bought a collection of cards from a ebay member for $250 threw paypal (not ebay) and have not received them over a month later. I sent her a few messages but it turns out that her account is "no longer registered". If you buy cards from a ebay member therw paypal you are playing with fire.

Chris- do you mean you bought some cards from an ebay member, using paypal, but you did the transaction outside of ebay?
And now the seller is no longer set up with paypal? I'm sorry, just trying to follow........and that sucks that this happened. Clayton |

If the transaction happened through ebay and there is no proof of delivery, then you can most likely recoup funds. Anything through paypal outside of ebay is extremely risky if you don't know the seller. But I have the same question as Clayton...not sure exactly what kind of transaction it was.

paypal
If you used a credit card to fund paypal, then call the cc and do a charge back. If not file a claim with the Better Business Bureau in San Jose, Ca against paypal. Never by off ebay and use pp unless you use a cc to fund the transaction. GL

Very frustrating...this is exactly why eBay can charge 10% fees for using its services; it seems like a lot, but it's worth it for the peace of mind.
Good luck...what kind of collection, may I ask, did you attempt to purchase?

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Paypal has taught me one thing over the years: NEVER EVER PAY FOR ANYTHING USING YOUR CHECKING OR BANK ACCOUNT. ALWAYS USE YOUR CREDIT CARD FOR ALL PAYPAL TRANSACTIONS that way when someone tries to scam you, the CC company can (and almost always will) refund your money in full. |
