Got screwed using Paypal What to do?


Paypal won't protect me!
The only way that I can get my money back, according to Paypal, is if they can find the guy that never sent me the unit that I won on ebay.

I paid by credit card on Paypal. The seller took the funds, left for Europe and never sent my unit. Fat chance of them getting anything.

I lost over $2300!
I HATE Paypal!

Does anyone out there know if I can do a credit card chargeback against Paypal.

I like PayPal, and like pmwoodward said if you sent this guy a money order, certified check, personal check, or even a credit card. You still would not have gotten your amp. He was a crook. It is very important to know who you are dealing with. You need to check their feedback before you make a purchase. This guy if reported can no longer trade on eBay. I trade lp's on ebay and have made over 300 deals and have found PayPal works good for me. When I pay the seller I get a receipt and a copy is kept online in my paypal account. so no disputes over payment. I don't have to go somewhere to buy a money order. I don't have to worry about my payment getting lost or stolen in the mail. As a seller I get a warp speed payment and don't have to worry about if the guy is sending payment or not. I can get their purchase out quickly and don't have the items hanging around the house for weeks. It sounds like Drrdiamond got most of his money back from PayPal. Try to go to the Post office or your bank and ask them for your money back because you made a deal with a crook!
also all the money I make from selling lp's that goes into my PayPal account is mine to buy lp's or new stereo equipment and my Wife doesn't know how much money is in my account. I cannot find any down side and between what I buy and sell the fees balance each other out.
