I just need to vent!! Basically at the start of September I was contacted by a lad in the US interested I bits I was selling and agreed to ship them if he covered the cost, no problem, sent via electronically tracked Royal mail so I new when it arrived and so it did. Now last night I had an email off paypal saying he had tried to oped a case but it was closed as it was 45days after the purchase, but Iv not had another email saying there is a hold on my account for the purchase and have held my paypal account so I'm not £500 in the red and an item down!!

Iv got 10days to respond and Iv my a clue how to attack this!! My first ever major problem in years!! Iv got to dig out the receipt..!

Where do I stand I'm sure they cannot open a case if it was over 45days old :/

ARGHHHHH SCAMMERS!!!!!

No it's been sent to his paypal address that was on his account.

I'm going to ring them in the morning and see what they say :/. It's just kinda taken me back

rep of ireland paypal right?

i would spend £5 and get a phone card before you call, it might be cheaper then using your contract...

I hate when people do this. A couple people i know have had this happen to them. When ever your selling to someone you dont know you have to provide tracking, and get a signature confirmation. That you can prove he got it and have a signature on file.

My worry is it was electronically tracked I don't think it will be signed for :/

this is why i never sell to the americans.

I bought a carbon bootlid from america paid £200 they never even sent it and closed there acct paypal wouldnt refund my money over some technicallity. There have been others on here who have had the same experience as you matey.

It's a god dam joke!! It really gets to me.. Iv hardly slept trying to get some info on how to attack this and turns out its a huge thing and paypal do nothing about it!!
I no they have received it why would someone wait 50days to say they never received something ohh thats right on the hope the seller no lover has the tracking number and cannot do anything about it,

Lucky I'm made to keep the bu the partner so lets hope I can sort this,

I just don't get how paypal defer they dispute then open a new one :S

Paypal are a bunch of wannabe-bankster c unts. It's unfortunately a risk you take when using them.
