why is it some people are able to claim back what they paid you after you have sent the items with total ease...ie some people wont accept paypal becuase they have been done over in this way before.

but....if you have a dispute with an item you have paid for BUT not received. the odds of you getting any money from paypal are slim to nothing???

is there a Best way of getting your money back off people, including the postage....been f*cked around on ebay AGAIN

Paypal almost always side with the buyer.

The reason is that they are stuck if the buyer tells their credit card company to withhold payment from paypal, it can potentially leave them out of pocket.

so if i bought something, Ł5 with Ł15 postage.....will i be able to get my money back fairly easily???

You are not the only one.
I purchased a MK6 electric window switch and paid immediately with Paypal. Been waiting 2 weeks and still nothing has turned up. The seller keeps telling me it has been posted, but when I ask for proof they don't reply and cannot tell me when it was sent. It seems Xmas is the time for sellers to con the buyers.

I have been dicked around by a breakers the last week over a payment refund. Got the credit card company involoved this morning, refund was issued in the hour

i havent been dicked around as such....paid for the item after i won it and havent heard anything from the seller. its only been 6 days but there are 4 negative feedbacks already on his account, from items ending at a similar time, all the same story....no contact

i paid with bank transfer through paypal....where can i go from here?

best thing to do, is DONT USE PAYPAL

paypal only covers you on anything you have bought over Ł15, excluding postage.

everybody gets done on ebay/paypal from time to time, its just an occupational hazard unfortunately. i've been done 3 times in the 3 or 4 years i have been using it. just got to put it down to experience and offset it against bargains you have had on there.

you wouldnt accept that at tesco's so why would you put up with it on paypal???

gingeRS

i notice he has no less than 22 items for sale on ebay at the minute.....perhaps i'll bid rediculous on them all, then just not pay????

Yeah go on Ginge that's the way to piss him off and guess what my switch just turned up. 2 weeks late but hey!
