In a nutshell:
- Sell on eBay, pay via PayPal ensuring verified Buyer.
- Seller claims non-receipt
- Send all tracking information INCLUDING signature data to PayPal
- PayPal ignores and processes refund to buyer
- PayPal freezes $175 (they say it's standard)
- Investigation ensues for weeks
- Account is frozen because of negative balance
- Informed from MarkD and another eBay seller that their funds are under investigation for 'fraud'
- More faxes and mails to PayPal
- PayPal processes full claim in favor of Buyer
- Account completely limited
- Send appeal to PayPal, and fax all information AGAIN
- Appeal denied. Why? TRACKING INFO CANNOT BE VIEWED ONLINE!
- Call PayPal, walk through on the phone to view information
- Attempt appeal and case in review
- Meanwhile, PAYPAL REVERSES PAYMENTS TO SELLERS!

This makes absolutely NO sense! Mark, I received a message that you called. Understandably why now. The truly f*cked up part of it is I don't have the funds that were reversed AND I can't move them anywhere because my account is limited!

So, I don't have the money. The folks I paid to don't have the money. WHO HAS THE MONEY? The fraudulant Buyer and PayPal, whom is helping them!

Since then, the Buyer on eBay has changed their email and made their feedback on eBay private.

I say again... Seller protection is a farce.

I'll call you tonight, Mark.





Hi Jason,

I just got off the phone with someone at PayPal, she said that the payment was reversed since I didn't provide any info for their investigation. I've been busy and didn't have time, and I felt they didn't need any info from me anyway.

I told her what I thought of PayPal. I've got to find a new method to accept payments soon as I'm closing my PayPal account.
