I put up an auction for a Gucci bag (100% real) I copped it from the Gucci outlet at my mall, included gift receipt, original tags, and everything. I sold it to someone on eBay and he received the bag on the 18th of March and 2 days later he leaves me a POSITIVE FEEDBACK saying he "got the bag even though it was horribly packaged"
Anyway, about 6 days pass and I get a charge back email from paypal and the money he sent me deducted out of my account stating the "item is not as described" I contact the buyer and he is not responding to any of my emails, even though I can see he is leaving positive feedback for others so he is active on eBay.
The item is EXACTLY as described and pictured, I call paypal and they are of no help, all they can tell me is to wait until the investigation is done. I don't understand how paypal can just allow people to scam others like this..Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any advice? I emailed paypal all the "Evidence" I can but I have a feeling this dude is going to take my money and keep the bag for free and the kicker is HE LEFT ME A POSITIVE FEEDBACK AFTER 2 DAYS OF HAVING THE BAG. Thanks for your time, I appreciate it
So today I finally got the email I was honestly expecting the whole time, they ruled in the buyers favor, the buyer never said what was not described about the item, Paypal won't let me know what the buyers dispute with the item was, and now I owe 28.00 to paypal for getting ripped off. I honestly feel like I want to go crazy. To make things even worse, paypal emailed me saying the case is closed and they are "disputing it" (...right) and they did not mention ANYTHING about the buyer sending back my item. What can I do? I lost 300.00 to a scammer who used paypal to help them scam me
Update 2 I got a random email from Paypal on June 25th stating:
I don't know what happened, but they gave me the money back! I guess there might be some hope for Paypal after all
