I've been dealing with paypal for the past 7 years. I have heard all the stories under the sun.
I've sold everything from elmos to wiis to Ps3s to my grandma on Ebay. I was actually a lucky one not to get a chargeback for the PS3 I sold for $2500.
Well, today was the day. I sold something on ebay for around $200 mid December. It was artwork.
My rules are simple. Must have over 5 feedback. Unfortun, I didn't follow my rules with this one. The guy had 0 but paid me immediately. And to help hiscase, he lived in NY so we met up and I gave it to him. Guy was mad cool. He was Indian and it was an easy transaction.
2 months later (today), i received the chargeback. I am assuming it his job or he stole a credit card from them. I am a fool.
Good thing though is that the money is all profit but still, it just bothers me that I shook this s**thead's hand. Prob where he comes from they would chiphis s**t off.
It just was not a good feeling to wake up to.
And I am usually the one giving ppl advice and look at me....
UPDATE!!!
So I am at work right now and all morning I have bene trying to get to the bottom of it. I just don't want to give in.
I called the company and it really sounded fake. Hardcore Indian guy answering phone told me to hold and then hung up.
I kept trying and trying. I ended up getting thru and speaking to the accounts guy. He was pretty cool. Said though there was no information regarding it buthell check more into it. You know when they say that what they really mean...
Anyway, I found the # of the guy and it was his house #. I reversed searched it and found out his address and everything.
So I call back the guy now and he is like the ebay name you gave me (the buyer) is a nickame of one of the sons at the other office.
DADA DA------------------------------
And then I gave him the name and # of the guy and as im spelling the last name the guy continued spelling and was like "yea he is an employee forus". Im like he was a young guy though hes like yea its his son.
Then i just told him i dont want to get anyone in trouble but maybe it was just miscommunication on the father/son part. Being that the father didn't knowthat the son paid for it.
Welll see what happens....
I am getting a little happier
UPDATE 2 (for anyone that cares lol)
THE BUYER CALLED!!!
Apologized for everything and in 48 hours it will be reversed.
WOWW!!!
