What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Hello,
I was the "recipient of fraudulent funds" in which I sold an item on Ebay that was sent to russia. Apparently I'm not covered under the seller protection policy with Paypal because Russia, isn't a "paypal country."
I sold a used computer on ebay and the auction was won, the buyer gave me the address in Russia to send the item to, so once i recieved all my $ in paypal, I shipped the item the following week, through USPS global
express. Over a month went by (well after i deposited my $595.00 into my bank acount) before they told me that "I may have been a recipeient of faraudulent funds" sent to me and then once they decided that I was, they reversed the transaction and sent the money back to the buyer.?????! leaving my papal account at -$577.00. I guess typically this would be a stollen credit card issue, but why a month later am I having a problem with this and not a week later? (transcation payment took place 5/25 and they were reversed by paypal 6/29, recorded in paypal history)
I've gone through paypal representatives through email and I then called paypal and talked to a Resolution Services representative and taked about my situation. The only thing he could tell me was that Russia wasn't covered under the seller protection poilicy and could only give me alternatives, like sell items and that'll bring your paypal acount up from negative dollars, huuu!!?. Resolutions Services would not refund my money and didn't seem to take to my side of the story at all.
I'm not gonna even try to contact the buyer, I guess there were indications that he was a fraudlent buyer, because a few days after the item was sent (a week after the money was put in my paypal acount) his ebay didn't exist, Ii had gotten my money and had just deposited it into my bank acount, so i wasn't worried. I just didn't get any Ebay feedback.
The fact of the matter is, I think payapl really messed up on this one. Again, why would they tell me this a month later, at that point it should be there problem. I'm a college student in Boston with just enough $ to get me through the semester, and no income at the moment. If i can't do something about my -$ in the paypal acount in 90 days, it's going to start wrecking my creit. If you could give me some professional advice on the matter, possibly small claims?? that would be very helpful.
thanksyou for your time
