An 'Unauthorised Claim' on PayPal. HELP!!!

eBayRipOff

I wonder with such genius advice, who would you know was scammers and genuine before you send the item?

It is a simple problem to avoid, but what you suggest is utter rubbish!

Paypal fraud use an automated robot system, it asks for a tracking number, it then fetches that info from royal mail and if the "item" has been posted to the paypal official address it closes the case in favour of the seller, now it knows NOT what you have posted, just it was signed for, so this may offer some way of hitting back at these scammers, most of them do have genuine accounts and could not care less and most probably are greedy enough to sign for a recorded delivery empty box .
So if they have tried it on, play dirty back

Well sometime the hackers, have the address changed, that's why it becomes an unconfirmed address.

Sometimes I believe they also intercept the parcel at an address such a hotel or similar.

Once I had a couple order 2 items from my, they was valued at £5000. Each was insured with Royal Mail special delivery £2500. Now what was the odds that both items never arrived?

Never happen before, and never after over 10 years!

After not arriving I received a call from the husband, telling me the items was missing, also his wife was working in the post office, and had not seen anything, I contacted Royal Mail, and they confirmed items was lost/delivered wrong address!

I than went trough the Royal Mail claim procedure, they paid me out, and the buyers was happy to wait until case was settled with Royal Mail, and I sent them out replacement items! (this was about 7-8 years ago)

I am pretty sure that this was fraudsters, as I find it very unlikely that something like this would happen on the same day with 2 different parcels to the same address!

The wife who was working at the post office probably sorted them away, I did warn Royal Mail of my suspicion, however nothing was done by that.

Also of course we mustn't forget that if this is a hacked account the address the 'letter' goes to will be the original owner who is as much a victim as the seller, unless you happen to believe that someone who allows hackers access to their account should suffer the consequences.

Shouldn't that be "suspicion?"

Yes sorry, ENGLISH is not my mother tongue! I guess you could try to speak a few foreign languages and see how well you do! :T

However that error was typo, but just in reference for any future "teacher" comments!

Can you clarify if this is fact or opinion?

I think they were pointing it out politely, not having a go at you

I shoudn't relly be posting this but here goes:

You can cancel a direct debit at any time. I have Santander online banking and I can cancel a DD with the click of a mouse button. Otherwise give your bank a ring. It's your right to cancel it under the direct debit guarantee.

That's the Direct Debit kaput.

Now the debit card will take longer to deal with. Probably the quickest way is to lose it, ring the number for lost cards, tell them you've lost it. They will block the card and should issue a new one with a different number.

The other longer way would be to get a prepaid credit card, add it to your paypal account, confirm it and then remove the debit card (easier said than done).

Sorted ... but you still have a £550 debt with PayPal.

Have you tried contacting the buyer??
