Yep, sold a phone awhile ago, paid by Paypal, sent off phone,signed for..... they paid ebay with a stolen credit card.

They did'nt pay me, I lost P900 / £280 . NEVER SELL ANYTHING WITH PAYPAL NOW.

Sorry about the caps....bloody laptop !!!!

Loads of stories of paypal doing this. They even take their time transferring your cash into your bank account, took 7 days last time I used it.And, even if after that, if they find out the payer paid with stolen card, they then take the money from your bank account !!!!

I don't get it. How can it be the sellers fault that the buyer tries to fool Paypal?

its not paypals fault, but they dont do anything to try to help you get your money back or anything, they dont care about the customer... (as far as i know... i never dealt with it...)

edit: idk anyone else who has had problems personally...

well.. since they charge for beeing the middlehand in transfering the money it should be their responability to see if the card is legit. Right?

Oh well, i'll see what happens.

To make things worse, the E-mail adress they want me to reply to is just bouncing.

Paypal have no responsibility at all, according to them, they don't care......but they'll still take their fees. I only ever buy stuff now with paypal ,cash or when cheques clear is all I now do.
How much was it for ??

Let me just say it was a substantial amount.

Let's not go deeper into this, i've PM'd the buyer to see if he has got an explanation.
Hopefully there's some simple explanation to all this.
