Hotreport, I get the feeling you work for paypal.
I sold the laptop through ebay, received payment into my account. All of the sudden Paypal retracted the $1800 because the buyer filed a dispute. Apparently the laptop was purchased from a stolen account, and this is my fault???
The money is returned to the person even though it was her fault for giving away her account information, while in the meantime my laptop has already been shipped, and can not be returned.
I don't have time to read all the legal disclaimers, and basically trusted my girlfriend as she handled the entire transaction, but in my book, what paypal did was wrong.
I was robbed, but I was wrong for trusting in a company as well known as paypal.
Again, they also had my account on hold until I had to fax over all the documents they asked for, so I did. I wait another entire week, and they said they haven't received a fax, and TOLD me to send it again......this is my fault Hotreport????
Use your brain once in a while. I can go into further details, but dont have the time or energy.In simple terms, I sold a laptop, the money was placed into my account. I trusted paypal. I had no idea they would take the money back. "Normally" when someone buys something and makes a payment, you send over the merchandise. I had No Idea they would take the money BACK.
I'm partly to blame for being naiive, but lesson learned.
Defend paypal all you want, but they were the least helpful, rude, and the hours spent on hold....
