Yes i have a real good story to tell and I'd say never trust PayPal.

Now it started a few weeks ago when i was selling the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte a very expensive mobile phone that i bought from our suppliers at 715GBP's and was selling them on eBay for 900GBP's or best offer "And if you want access to these suppliers you can in my signature" now back to the story well i sold about 5 of these phones the lowest at 840GBP's and the others at 900GBP's good profit yeah was well chuffed.

That was until a Russian woman bought one very new to eBay so i was very sceptical at first so i thought lets see what happened because not all new members are Scammers,

So i accepted her PayPal payment but emailed her explaining i would have to hold her funds for 5 working days before i shipped the phone because she was new to eBay and i need to give eBay time to check if the payment was safe.

So she then emailed me back saying fine i totally understand the way things are with the Internet and eBay now days just please email me the tracking info when your ready thank you.

So i thought very nice and understanding person,

Yeah right!

So the 5 working days pass and nothing from PayPal to say the payment was suspicious so i shipped it and she emailed me when she received it saying she was over the moon left me good feedback and said she would buy another for her husband, so i thought great another 150GBP's profit and she paid straight away and because the first one went so well i shipped the second that same day and tracked it all the way to her house so job done over 300GBP's profit on two mobile phones great.

That was until five weeks latter i got an email from PayPal saying the payment was unauthorised and they deducted it from my balance putting my account with a near 2k deficit so i followed PayPal's requests for information IE. tracking numbers etc and thought I'd get my money back as i was "protected" Yeah right.

A month latter they email me saying the credit card issuer had charged back the payment and they would work on my behalf to solve it "Now hold on they would work on my behalf shouldn't they give me my money back and fight the case for themselves?" No its your problem if PayPal allow a stolen credit card to be used to buy off you. What a load of bull,

So now I'm left with a PayPal account i can't use and over 2k in debit PayPal & eBay suck don't use any of them.
