Is This Too Good To Be True?

Apparently for 21 days......

That is something different, that is the time limit under the new rules for new sellers or those sellers selling in high risk categories like laptops and phones. In those cases, and certain others at random, paypal hold funds without the buyer making any complaint. The funds are then released automatically as soon as the seller either gets positive feedback for the goods or 21 days had passed whichever was the longest. If this seller had been subject to those new rules for being a new seller (and I have never found the auction id to check) then the positive feedbacks he has been getting before refunding would have released a lot of the funds being held.

Normally funds would be available immediately to withdraw by the seller, but possible to be recalled up to about 3 working days from transfer as it takes a while to clear to a UK bank. The thing here is that seller may have withdrawn enough of his funds in the early days to have made a good profit leaving insufficient funds now available to pay out the claims for people who bought with only £150 worth of protection showing.

Get a user group going, chase this bloke down and get as much info now as you can before it is too late.

how to open a full chargeback?

Have you formally started any of the process yet with paypal?

If not then long into your paypal and into resolution centre (a tab at the top) follow the instructions from there but make sure you escalate immediately to a full claim for item not received. make sure it shows as a full chargeback claim for itme not received.

Also if you have the full £500 of buyer protection on ebay make sure you have a screen grab of the auction page, print one copy out for safe keeping and keep another on your hard drive so it can be sent electronically if you need to take this matter further.

AS per my post above.

MonikaD

I have escalated to claims already and this is what is says:
Status

This item not received dispute has been escalated to a claim.
We requested additional information from the seller about this transaction.

There is no mention about full chargeback - have I done something wrong?

Thank you so much for your help!

That sounds right, the seller now has to prove delivery or give you a refund to cancel the claim. If neither happens after around 10-21 days then paypal find in your favour and will try and retrieve funds depending on what level of protection you had.

i bought direct through paypal as the auction had closed. (What a fool am i to trust the man who emailed me back so quickly to tell me not to worry about the austion being over as he still had some left! if only had had given up when I had senn the auction had finished!) So does this mean I have no protection?
