Paypal reversal Help needed please..!!

[blinking_idiot]

For me, it went from printout to Ombudsman to total radio silence for about 3 weeks (they have a caseload) but after an initial written acknowledgement, I chased them by phone (ah that magic reference number!) and was able to find out who was waiting for whom.

When Paypal sent me emails I forwarded them along, when their debt goons called me I forwarded that on, *always* labelled with the reference number and thre months later I'm sorted.

The Ombudsman won't be rushed - they defend both sides right to time to consider and reply, but when they do get things settled, *if* you're still unhappy you have a very solid audit trail to take to court if necessary.

 

For me it was twelve weeks, not eight, but I had Christmas to slam the anchors on all round.

Good luck!

Unfortunately you have become victim to the latest wave in **** bags who buy from ebay, then issue a chargeback because under paypals rules they normally come down in favor of the buyer because the credit card companies refund the money.

 

I had the same happen to me with a mobile phone I sold, the **** bag reversed the charge and didnt answer any emails from me....luckily I had the IMEI number so I reported the phone stolen which would have barred it, however I was then £80 out of pocket + and £80 phone down!.

 

This is the huge risk of dealing with Paypal, the internet is full of these stories and whilst paypal have a monoloply being part of ebay, this will continue to happen!.
