ANOTHER Paypal scam

I recently bought a DVD, ok so not expensive but still. The seller had about 50 positive feedback for selling so I thought I could trust them.
Anyway, myself and about 30 others didnt receive our items. I filed a paypal dispute and paypal settled it in my favour as the seller didnt respond to paypal. However, paypal are unable to recover anyones money as the seller has either closed their bank account, cancelled paypal DD from their account or cleared out their account :mad:

I'm really sorry to hear after paypal settle in your favour there is nothing they can do
I just assumed you'd get your money back, as that's what happened with my dispute."Knowledge will give you power, but character respect" ~ Bruce Lee0 -
People think theyre safe paying with paypal but your not. Even sellers arent after reading the chargeback scam! Cheques arent safe either as Ive had cheques bounce few days after theyve cleared, when the items been posted and sending a chq is dodgy as the seller has your name, address and account details so who knows what they can do with it!Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.0

If PayPal are a per case member they will be charged around £400 whether your case is upheld or not. If they are a subscription levy member then any complaints will bump their levy up next year.The man without a signature.0
