Domestic (US) money transfer Other transaction issues California

Sold a - - gift card ( $380.00 balance ) on eBay on -/-/-. Buyer paid through online payment service PayPal -. A few days later the buyer claims that purchase was " unauthorized '' even though the gift card was used ( balance now ZERO ). Buyer filed claim with eBay and case was closed in my favor less than 1 day after I submitted proper documents to reflect that the gift card was indeed used. Initially PayPal had the hold on my account for the transaction amount but released the funds once eBay closed the buyer 's dispute case. Nearly three months ( -/-/- ) later the buyer decided to open a dispute with PayPal claiming the same " unauthorized '' purchase nonsense. Basically the buyer is stating that BOTH his eBay account and his PayPal account were hacked at the same time on the same day for the


I submitted the exact same proof/documents to PayPal as I had to eBay 3 months earlier with proof showing that the buyer received the gift card and evidence ( copy of - - purchase receipt showing when and where the gift card was used in store ). Without any valid reason, PayPal decided to side with the buyer and his financial institute, for no justified reason other than not wanting to go against the banks which PayPal would not exist without. PayPal is notorious for siding with the buyer in almost every single case of this nature. Basically I was out of the gift card ( already been used ) and the buyer was returned his money. This is completely unjust and unfair and I have filed complaints with the BBB and the Nebraska Attorney General ( where PayPal operates business from ).
