YAET: Sold something, now buyer filed a dispute

[sisq0kidd]

Not even going to bother with a story, just some cliffs.

1. Sold item on eBay for $600
2. Received paypal, shipped to unconfirmed address with delivery confirmation (yeah, I know)
3. Buyer receives item, leaves me feedback saying thanks blah blah
4. Buyer files an unauthorized funds dispute

Now, where do I go from here? I know he received it, he even left me freakin feedback.

It is a possibility that someone has broken into their account, but what kind of scammer would talk to me and say thanks and then leave me feedback.

********
501 roberts ct NW suite A -7
KENNESAW, GA 30144
United States

That's the address just in case anyone wants to pay a personal visit for me asking what the hell is going on.

Where do you go from there? You put any and all documentation (ALL correspondance, tracking info, etc.) in your reply to the dispute, and point out that the fvcker left feedback.

But you're screwed anyway, because you shipped to an uncomfirmed address, you fvcktard numbskull.

Thanks for the advice and kind words. Anyone else have any advice?

I'm already bent over and have the lube ready.

Well, leaving feedback that the item was delivered, paying with paypal, and winning the Auction, I believe carry more weight than the unconfirmed shipping address.

Of course all of the above could still mean a hacked account.

You should be ok, unless there is some information missing. Link to auction?

Unauthorized funds are not filed by the buyer...

2. Received paypal, shipped to unconfirmed address with delivery confirmation (yeah, I know)

You got served.

 

[Sphexi]

You shipped to an unconfirmed address, that's a no no. No real way to protect yourself now, just give Paypal all the info you have, and pray that they don't screw you too bad.

Who are they filed by?

 

[intogamer]

Its basically paypal taking the money back because it is fraud money...

 

[Aimster]

wow that is messed up on his part

what is his ebay id?

 

[Leros]

Same thing happened to me, except I shipped to a confirmed address. Guess what? I was still screwed. I lost $350. Last time I sold anything on eBay.

I think I might go this route too. Thank you everyone for the advice. Lesson learned. The freakin hard way.

2 paypal accounts FTW! Use one for receiving funds. I got one to move money out of as soon as it gets in. Its tied to a frozen CC and a bank account that has $20 in it. My credit union let me open up a second checking account as long as there is $20 in it.

Some people are just losers and will file a dispute with thier CC company. I bet this one has nothing to do with fraud, just some asshat wanting a free $600 item.

 

[j00fek]

shouldnt have sent to that unconfirmed addr :|

 

[sisq0kidd]

Update: The guy e-mailed me and said his account was hacked into and now he can't get back into it. Time to get the police involved.

If you think this setup is going to protect you from being hounded by PP, CC, or collectors, I've got news for you.

So is he saying he got the item and this other stuff is bogus crap from someone hacking his account, or is he saying someone hacked his account and as a result he never got the goods?

The guy who e-mailed me is the original owner of the account who claims someone hacked into his account and purchased and received items without his knowledge. He does not have the goods. Supposedly...

Well I don't see how you can be blamed for someone hacking his account. You did your part of the agreement, which was to send the item to the shipping address provided. It's not like you had any idea about the account being hacked.

If people can get money back like this, the system would be abused: "Item received, oh wait my account was hacked I actually didn't get it." That's just dumb.

Well the thing is, I know my fate with paypal/ebay already. I'm screwed. Nothing I can do about it.

The person who had his account hacked is a complete dumbass for letting that happen.

The scammer is a complete dick for scamming everyone.

I am a complete idiot for shipping to an unconfirmed address. But even if it was confirmed, paypal/ebay still wouldn't have given a damn.

Moral of the story: Why the hell do I still use paypal/ebay?

There are two possible scenarios I can think of:

a) buyer is trying to scam OP.

b) buyer fell for one of scam emails asking them to confirm PP account by divulging all personal info.

Probably B

If I ever got an email from paypal like that saying there was fruad, or someone is filing a dispute, and it was a fairly large sum of money I would go down to my bank and take all the money out until everything got settled so paypal couldnt get their greedy hands on it.
