I sold an item on ebay and shipped it out . While the package was in transit the scam artist/buyer, filed for a paypal refund. So buy the time that the buyer receive the item, the paypal refund had been processed already. So the buyer not only has the money for the item AND the item itself, but this also made my paypal account go into the negative. So basically Im screwed 3 ways. I contacted the seller mulitple times saying to give me my money back, but the buyer didnt respond because he KNOWS hes wrong. He knows just how wrong he was because about 3 days later his account was in "not a registered user" status. As if this isnt bad enough, because this whole event caused my account to go into the negative, paypal has contacted their credit ppl & they have been calling me EVERDAY, 3 or 4 times aday. To pay of the negative balance What can I do, I am P.O'd and out over $200, what the hell can I do. Im just short of going to the bastards house and beating the s**t outta the guy!

You screwed yourself. First, you should have a checking account or other credit card that your paypal account should pull from. Second, you should have sent your item with tracking and delivery confirmation. Had you done that, you would have had proof that your item was in transit and/or received when the complaint was filed. Third, never do business on ebay if you cant afford to loose the money



Lesson learned for the next time.

When you mailed it, didn't they give you a receipt? If not, your nearby postal office should have recorded your transaction into their computer. You can try that way first and gather the evidence. If you have paypal, you can explain your situation and present the evidence, that way, they can withdraw money from the other person to your account.

Just get the evidence needed!

You should never ship an item til the payment clears. Also, if the seller/buyer has low feed back you should never make a deal with them.

Pay the money and learn a valuable business lesson. If you're going to act like a business by selling things, learn the right way to do it.



Really worth twice what it has cost you.

If you got the address call paypal and give them that, show them the ebay transaction, if all else fails call the authorities

I'd consult a lawyer and see what he thinks
