What is the name of your state? Michigan
I sold a $230 item on eBay and got paid through PayPal using instant transfer from a bank account. I shipped the item to the buyer’s confirmed address in North Carolina with no insurance because he didn’t want to pay for it. The buyer left me positive feedback a couple of days later and I transferred the funds in my PayPal account to my bank. More than a month later, PayPal put a temporary hold on the funds (i.e. gave me negative balance) because the funds used to pay for the auction were supposedly “unauthorized”. Four weeks later PayPal sends me an email that they decided to reverse the payment back to the buyer and I now owe them $230. My question is that if I don’t pay PayPal and they send my account to a collection agency, which they will, can they hurt my credit history or credit score? Thanks.
