Can I Claim Money Back Through Paypal

Hi all,

I recently paid a person through paypal for a game. It was not done through ebay or anything like that. We agreed to do transaction outside and I paid (only 6 pound, so not the world) I know it was silly not going though ebay, but I got the item much cheaper.

They however have not sent the good and are ignoring my emails.

Can I get my money back through paypal and if so how?

Thanks

Cutebabe :A

    i am pretty sure you can claim. the only problem is that you can only do 3 paypal claims a year so i honestly wouldnt bother for such a low value item.
    love you lots like jelly tots :o

    Log in to your paypal account and see what it says! Go into the transaction and try claiming it back - its worth a try - it might not let you - but if you dont try you wont get anything!

  • I recently had to apply for a refund on an Ebay item (which went through within 4 hours) and when I got to the part of entering details I had the option to say if it was an Ebay item or not, there was no mention at all about a limit of claims per year.
    Personally, I would go for it, you have lost out big time, you are entitled to a refund it, does not matter how much you have paid, you have paid, they have not sent the goods, means refund due. Good Luck.

    ps, how can PP say only 3 refunds per year, if the customer has been ripped off, they should be able to claim no matter how many times
