Paypal wouldn't help you if the item is bought off (private transaction) Ebay. It happen to me 4 years ago. I Paid $450 for a new version CL 55 tail light. The mother****er send me the older version tail light (same as my old tail light). I filed fraud with Paypal and my bank. I never got the money back. I now only pay for thing with credit card.

sleewell

well if your paypal acct is linked to a cc doesnt that cover fraud?


sorry to hear that, hopefully it happened in transit. people on this board shouldnt be screwing fellow members over like that.

cant i make a claim or wutever, and that way get my money back. I think they just take it out of his account and if he doesnt respond or wutever i dnt even have to send the tailights back.

Hovo2324

idk , hopefully i get my money back. And if any1 knows where i can buy 06+ CLK tailights let me know. thanks. and do u guys think a cracked tailight is anygood, u think any1 would buy it.

sleewell

the way i understand it, and i could be wrong, is that paypal only gaurantees transactions from ebay sales. private party money transfers dont fall into that category.

but like i was saying is if you paid paypal with a CC then you might be able to go to your CC company.

Hovo2324

ya i paid with my credit card, idk well see, im gna wait until friday to see if purdue responds to my emails, if not then ill contact paypal and possibly my cc company. thanks for the help.

Klinh

Mine link to both cc and debit card. I used too used the debit card only until that problems. I only used cc now on.

Klinh

Yup....that's exactly what Paypal told me and that's why they wouldn't help me.

Hovo2324

so if i used cc theyres a good chance i get my money back

Klinh

If you use the cc, you mostly likely get your money. Any update?

im gna start a dispute today, through paypal and go from there. ill let u guys know wut happens, ill post pics tomorrow.

Hovo2324

I just opened a dispute, but im not clear, do i wait and make a claim after its not resolved in 20 days or wutever, or paypal automatically makes it a claim and resolves it themselves?

Paypal wants you to talk to the seller and try to solve the problem by yourselves, the best way to do is to contact your credit card comany.

With a Debit card which is also tied to your bank account, the bad guy can clean out your bank account and you have no recourse, so the Credit card is the best as your loss is limited to $50 in the extreme case.

That's why I refuse to have a Debit card... I go directly to the bank, give them back the Debit card and get an ATM card and separate Credit Card, if necessary.

Good luck...

hey guys, i opened a dispute, then i just escalated it to a claim, and immediately they declined my claim to get a full refund. Wut can i do now, i dnt get it, i call my cc company, but wut can they do, wut shud i i tell them, thanks.

Hovo2324

this is wut they wrote: We're unable to decide this claim in your favor at this time. PayPal's Buyer Complaint Policy applies to the shipment of goods but not to disputes about merchandise quality

kiamcoj

any update on the pics?

You can do a charge back with your credit card. Paypal is ****ty when it comes to this type of stuff, its much better to call your CC company and tell them the quality of what you purchased isn't what you were expecting and the seller isn't replying. Something of that nature. Good luck.

Hovo2324

sorry i didnt have time this week, ill post them this weekend

Hovo2324
