No, Dave,
sellers leave themselves wide open to fraud by not understanding the terms that they have agreed to."There is a light that never goes out"0 -

How does this service work?
Will it cost anything for me to make a claim?0 -
Fay I know that "technically" rd should be a signed for service, but you cannot track it online (afaik), and more often than not, rd items are just shoved through the door with no sig anyway.
It makes me wonder if sellers who advertise the fact that everything is sent rd, have a higher incidence of fraud? now that would make interesting reading!"There is a light that never goes out"0 -
I thought paypal had a process which mediated between buyer and seller in the eventuality of a dispute? The prospect of being able to cancel the payment seems ludicrous.0

Not if the buyer is claiming their cards have been used fraudulently.
The OP has still not said for what reason the reversal was completed.It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.
Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.0 -

£30.
Is your buyer at a real address?The money, Dave...0 -
You are thinking of the ebay dispute process I think.
Paypal is highly skewed towards the buyer, although I'm sure buyers have just as many bad stories as sellers.
The bottom line is you cant leave it to the whims of paypal, you have to understand the process BEFORE something goes wrong.
I would say that 95% of people who blame paypal, have not made sure they were covered either as a buyer or a seller.
I can take card payments over the phone, if the transaction then turns out to be fraudulent, I would lose the money and be charged £15 for the privilege."There is a light that never goes out"0 -
The problem is you can't protect yourself, if you lack experience and knowledge and don't completely understand terms and conditions of Ebay and Paypal. Its a hard lesson to get scammed, I can only see this being resolved through the courts but that assumes he has used his real name and address.0

Yes the address that he has supplied appears to be real.
Do you get the £30 back if the claim is successful?0
