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.

That sucks!

Call your CC company and see if they will cancel payment. But, do it NOW! Don't wait.
be sure to call your credit card company asap, file a dispute and ask for their assistance...they may give you a provisional credit while they investigate...good luck
Basically, don't use paypal if you can help it. Their customer service is worse than useless. Definitely issue a chargeback against them (Paypal). They will hate it and fight it and may lock up your account (take out all $ now if you have any in there) , but the CC company should stick up for you. IMHO Paypal is fine until you have a problem, then they suck ass.

I ain't no lawyer but I'll just bet my butt Paypal ain't responsble.---- Don't you guys notice dealers with adds here that won't take your card??---But they will take Papal?? The only purpose is so you can't return the item or file a merchant's dispute. Gives you a good idea of what they think of what they're selling. Do yourself a favor and avoid this type of merchant. I'm just about sure that using Paypal is kinda like a cash advance thing.--No recourse! Sorry for your predicament.
