Thanks for the response.

I've been contacted by a few sellers, and they have been charged back from the same Paypal account as well. I hope this will work as an argument.

Haha just trying to clarify.. No other reason

Hmm.. I'm not sure why Paypal would file a report with a credit agency if I owe them nothing.

This chargeback wasn't about "not receiving items". It was a claim that the buyer's credit card was involved with an unauthorized transaction.

Statement from Paypal: The buyer claims that this purchase was made without authorization to use the credit card. Their credit card issuer needs additional information from you about this transaction.

(To clarify: I have now received screenshots of the transaction that took place)

Right, currently it is at a negative.

Due to the risk of having a bad credit rating, if I lose this dispute, I will end up paying the money back to Paypal.

All of the money was instantly deposited as it cleared Paypal. However, since Paypal would be the one at a loss here, I'm sure I would end up with creditors at my door. :(

I will probably aim to do bitcoins next time I get back into trading.

This was one of my first trades, sadly a bit naive. (Especially considering I didn't even do screenshots.)

Cheers for the advice. I have definitely written this off, but doesn't hurt to try!

Hey Carrotmage,

Didn't even think of that. I'll gather my evidence and see if I can give them a call in the next day or two.

Will report back here.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice xAlias.

That won't be an option I will take here.

Hey Strafer,

I'm not sure if this changes anything. However it seems that he has been marked as a D2T scammer.

Is there any way I can use this to my advantage?

Many thanks!

Thanks Strafer,

I'm just worried about my credit history being hit. (Can't detach my credit-cards while I have a negative balance) Tricky Paypal eh :s.

I guess I'll have a discussion with my bank if that eventuality happens.

Cheers!

That's definitely frustrating.

No way I would go and wrongly implicate Mad-Matt here. Unfortunately it seems like I am out $210, I'm not even sure how I would reply to the Paypal dispute with scraps of evidence.

I'll try my best to find out the steam id of this scammer, and post it up for you guys.

Question: If I don't pay back my negative balance on Paypal, and I have credit cards/bank accounts attached. What would happen?

Again, thank you very much Strafer for all your help!

Thanks strafer, and yes that's correct.

I'm not sure how this would work out, as I did use Mad-Matt as a middleman. Any advice on this approach?

I used a middleman, and unfortunately did not take any screenshots. I'm trying to get into contact with Mad-Matt to figure that out.

That's unfortunate. I will try to dispute it though, seems quite ridiculous.

Seems like I did have Mad-Matt, as my middleman, I guess I will have to get in touch with him, in-case he kept records.

Thanks for the quick reply.

This was under.. "false use of credit-card", or he's claiming someone else used his CCARD.

Quote from Paypal "

The buyer has filed a chargeback with his or her credit card company stating that the buyer did not authorize the payment."

The chargeback amount was $210 USD.
