Paypal say i have to pay the £500 for someone buying a stolen credit card

tylerboyo

OK i havent read this full thread, but i bet i can get the jist of it, ive read many of these before. £500 is a hell of alot of money to loose. All i can say, DONNOT let paypal bully you into paying the £500, paypal WILL NOT send a debt collection agency round, it is a scare tactic. You will receive a card thorugh the door in around 3-4months time saying a MR Green or Robinson, or SOMEONE will be calling, on a Tuesday. THIS IS A PACK OF LIES. Paypal sens that out themselves, no-one will visit you. All i can suggest you do is find a very close family member or friend, and ask them to open a new paypal account in their name, then you can add your bank details to the account(make sure it is a new bank account details). If paypal see you are running 2 accounts, they will shut them both down. Thanks, hope this helped, keep us informed of ehat you are going to do, and/or what happens.

Cheap ebooks for feedback then lots of expensive stuff bid on. I wouldn't send them anything.

I contacted the sellers from who he chargebacked on there just right now and already got a response.

Hi

I never sent the item and PayPal revered the funds.

Ive been in contact with ebay member dposullivan who has also been scammed. He has got a few details and is trying to get his moeny back. Im pretty sure someone was going to go to one of the addresses he had so Id suggest you get in touch with him.

Best of luck!

How many people exactly is this person scamming, it's gonna be a disgrace if he gets away with this

I've been messed around and currently know that Royal Mail didn't actually send the item to the address I posted it to in London (181 Earls Court Road IIRC). It was signed by a 'Reindorf', the place I sent it to is a learning facility and has no one of that name there..

However, it's incredibly annoying that PayPal advertise their 'business' as safe, it's anything but, I've lost a laptop/£925!

I was scammed for a laptop (some !!!!!!!! using the name Louise Knights and Simon Seed), as well as for a £200 iPod.

Sorry but if you can't protect yourself by sending to a confirmed address then you've only got yourself to blame.

So it looks as though from tylerboyo's posting, that it might be an option to sit tight and stand your ground. And as someone else has suggested, if they continue to harrass you, shout very loudly to the press. I am sure there are thousands of e bay users who are not aware of their vunerability (what a bunch if ignorami eh razorblades, if only we could all have your infinite wisdom), and if nothing else, it will be a highly embarrassing situation with lots of neg publicity for them. Try going to your local rag first, they are probably always on the look out for this kind of story.

One thing is for sure you have got lots of support here so don't let them bully you.

Personally in my experience I have had no problems with PayPal as a buyer or seller.

People should do whatever they can to protect themselves. However, I have now realised that perhaps people aren't fully aware of all PayPal rules. As someone mentioned, a lot of the rules are hard to find and are vague.

If you had bothered to read my other posts you would have seen that I had agreed PayPal don't make it easy for buyers/sellers.
