I sold a perfect working condition cell phone to a gentleman on eBay for $195.00. Ten days later he sent me an email saying that the phone is not working. He just said that some of the applications are not responding. I told him it clearly states that I give 7 days to return the phone and those 7 days were up. I told him no. I said there was nothing wrong with the phone when I sent it to him, and if there is anything wrong with it now, it could be something that he has done.
He filed a dispute after I kept telling him no, and PayPal reviewed the report. By then he was telling PayPal there were all kinds of problems with the phone, when in the beginning he said there were just a few things that weren't responding. PayPal gave him his return and he won the dispute. The $195.00 that PayPal put a hold on for so many days, so I would not spend it in case he decided to return it, was over with, so I had already transferred it into my bank account to use the money. The PayPal hold was over, so I did not think that he would be granted a return.
I already had $55.00 sitting in my PayPal account so I could pay my monthly fees to eBay, but because PayPal gave my buyer his return, my account went negative and I didn't have the $55.00 in my account to pay eBay anymore. Now I have to take an extra $55.00 out of my own bank account and transfer it into my PayPal account to pay the eBay monthly fee.
By now the phone is being sent back to me, and guess what? When I opened up the package, the phone was in perfect condition and perfect working condition! He lied to them, and I got cheated out of my money! I understand it's not a large amount, but think about all the people they do this to. I have heard a lot of stories, and just imagine all the money that they are racking up. They are taking advantage of us, and we need to do something about them. I hate them! If there is anyone that can help me, please write me. Thanks.
