I sell machinery on Ebay and was accepting Pay Pal payments for thousands of dollars per transaction. I have over 500 feedbacks. All positive. All of a sudden I go to transfer $6,000. to my bank and find they have put a 21 day hold on the money. When I called them I was told [...]
paypal screwed me over $900! a buyer received the items that they paid for, damaged them, and then claimed to paypal that i had sent them shoddy merchandise. clearly this was a case of buyer’s remorse since the buyer had emailed me about a possible return. despite sending in all my evidence to paypal, they [...]
I sold an item in good faith on e~Bay On my listing I asked for bidders to ask any and all questions because there was no returns/no refunds. Though other bidders did ask and still would bid, the winning buyer didn’t ask any questions at all.He just kept over bidding other bidders Buyer returned the [...]
I sold 8 computers to a guy in Germany When they arrived he said one had a crack so wanted me to give him 20% off total I disagreed. So he got his bank to get his money back from paypal and paypal took $6000 off me never to be seen again. Lost my ebay [...]
I sold a non dented motorcycle tank on ebay. The buyer claimed he received one dented. I asked him to send me a picture. He send me a picture of a tank of a different year tank. My account was frozen until I refunded the money. Even after I refunded the money with my wife’s [...]
I sent a piece of gold thru UPS after an eBay auction, but when UPS delivered it, they didn’t get a signature, even though they were required to. Naturally, the box the gold coin was in became “lost”, so eBay froze my PayPal account and took back the $1300. UPS claimed that it wasn’t their [...]
I shipped an item to Canada worth $222.00. the buyer claimed she did not receive the item. Paypal charge me back because I only send it first class mail. I am new to shipping overseas and I am a top seller in ebay and never had this problem except for this buyer. Paypal should side [...]
It,s an observation really. In the UK if someone owes money or sells goods not fit for purpose, we have to sue thru County Court. Paypal are a law unto themselves setting themselves as Judge & Jury. They remove money from client bank accounts based on spurious information given. If you are on the receiving [...]
Had some “item never arrived” paypal claims,and of course the majority of those claims are just lies to get item for free.Lately had 1 buyer who invented a story saying some 1 else signed for him when parcel was received,and he opened a paypal case.Post investigation says its him who signed.Paypal asked more time for [...]
Paypal is stealing our money, because we sold an item on Ebay that was to large to ship, we did local pick up. Then got feedback on Ebay from buyer, and Paypal still won’t release funds. Said they have to protect the buyer, who now has our product 450 miles away, and we can’t touch [...]
Sold an item on ebay. Received payment thru PayPal. When received, buyer realized he bought wrong item, wanted to return it. Our ebay listing clearly showed and described the item and that we do not accept returns. Buyer left neg f/b. Then claims to have sent the item back and provided paypal with a USPS [...]
I advise you to find other ways to get paid from selling on eBay. Figure out some alternative or you will be sorry. I sold a somewhat expensive item (several hundred dollars) on eBay and the buyer, who had been suspended from eBay for fraudulent transactions, claimed it was damaged. I am a 100% feedback [...]
I sold a ring for $450.00 on Online Auction (OLA); I love this venue for selling, and have been selling through OLA for years since I left ebay because of their unfair seller practices. The person I sent the ring to (via insured Priority Mail) said that she did not receive the ring, even though [...]
I’m simply irritated at PayPal’s increasing assumption that Sellers are the problems. Not only do they continue to increase their fees, they now hold your money for 21 days “just in case the Buyer does not receive their item.” Unfortunately, even if all Sellers did not use PayPal services, the Company still makes money from [...]

PayPal has no seller protection, especially if you sell lower priced items in any quantity. PayPal rules state that “The seller is responsible for every item, even during the delivery process” I Live in the UK and sell hundreds of lower priced items per week and to do this sensibly, I give my buyers the option [...]
An item I sold on Ebay and shipped via the USPS never made it to the buyer. The postal worker did not get the required signature for the insured item. Instead of holding the money in trust until my claim w/USPS was resolved, Paypal debited my account, eventually sending my debt to a collection agency [...]
Unfortunately it’s to long and involved to write! Basically they gave a buyer of mine their money back when she didn’t choose Registered Post, and apparently the item got lost during transit. My rules and regs on ebay are specific, I will not be responsible for Aust Post therefore you should cover yourself and get [...]
I sold a computer and the buyer wanted $120 back for a bad screen. I immediately gave him $280 back. He returned to me another computer that was a piece of crap, and Paypal gave him all of his money back. PayPal would not help me even though I filed a police report. According to [...]
An important thing all Sellers need to know regarding PayPal’s Non-receipt Claim Process that recently happened to us. We were lucky it happened with a customer we’ve done business with for some time, so we trust that our customer is in fact telling the truth and never received delivery. We are happy to reship the [...]
I had a dispute with an individual in Italy after a package that was well packed was damaged. The person put a complaint into PayPal and they froze the money for the item in my account. The case went from December to February, and in the end PayPal sided with the buyer. They said once [...]
I sold my Blackberry online, listed “as-is” and “in need of screen repair”. It sold for 56 bucks and was a fully working phone. long story short, the buyer recieves the phone and wants a refund or to exchange it because he claims the sound dosnt work. It worked perfect when in my possesion! So [...]
If you sell an item as broken, as is, all sales final, etc. and accept Paypal, expect to get the item returned up to 45 days after the transaction. All a buyer has to do is state that the item does not match the description, and Paypal will grant the refund from your sellers account. [...]
Paypal has horrible seller protection. I had a dispute through ebay from a buyer stating they never got an item they purchased. The buyer NEVER contacted me to let me know they hadn’t received it, rather they waited 6 weeks and then filed a dispute. I didn’t get tracking info, my own fault. However, I [...]
