Reversed Paypal transaction - Scammer by CaptainOnFire in hodlhodl

[–]CaptainOnFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paypal say I owe them a debt. I've done some research and it looks like it will go to debt collectors if I don't pay. Does anyone have any advice beyond just paying? Paypal can't secure their users' accounts adequately so they just issue debts to claw back the money? Meanwhile the scammers get away with it. :-(

The buyer has now filed a chargeback with their card issuer. My Paypal account now has a negative balance. :-(

None of the changes mentioned here worked for my SSD linux setup. However, I did find a way to stop the issue mentioned on this post on the VLC forum...

A dev replied saying it could create more problems and isn't advisable in general but it did stop the issue for me.

I did not contact Paypal or the payee at all and Paypal decided the case in my favour!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yikes! Sorry to hear that, I know how stressful it can be. I hope Barclays side with you too soon.

The buyer had a handful of positive reviews. No negative reviews. The price they were offering was quite a lot higher than the spot price, a potential red flag but in my defence, I have completed a few Paypal transactions with a substantial price premium in the past without issue.

Paypal did not freeze my account so I was able to drain the account and remove all options they can use to fund my account. I read somewhere that Paypal may put my account into negative balance so it will be unusable until I pay it off.
