I sold an - - on eBay to a buyer in -. I used eBay 's recommended shipping method of USPS first class mail. The funds were transferred to my PayPal account from the buyer. PayPal then released the funds to me after 3 weeks, but before the package had been listed as delivered. The phone was said to have arrived in -, - 5 days after I sent it from - and there is no other tracking information available. The buyer then claimed to have never gotten the phone and filed a complaint with eBay and PayPal. I contacted eBay about the complaint and they granted an additional 15 days before hearing the case. 8 days after that, PayPal went ahead with the case and ruled in favor of the buyer. They refunded him the $190.00 he paid and now I owe them that because the released funds had already been transferred to my bank. I contacted the very rude customer service reps at PayPal and they said it 's their standard policy to side with the buyer, but lots of scammers come from that area of the world. After talking a supervisor with customer service he said " sorry, that sucks '' when I asked for my money to be refunded since they allowed it to be effectively stolen from me. I also called eBay who told me there was nothing they could do besides investigate the account but it was " probably created for this purpose. '' I now owe PayPal $190.00 and do not have the phone because they allowed funds to be transferred to the bank before delivery had been completed.
