Paypal
Scamed me out of $575 and my WoW account

Internet & Web

Friday the June 27, I tried selling my World of Warcraft account, which I have been paying $15 for every month for the past three years, on craigslist I talked to the buyer on American Instant Massager, AIM, before receiving the money through PayPal, which I thought was safe.

I then gave them ALL the information and changed the E-Mail address on the account, so I will NEVER get my account back. The next day I received an E-Mail saying the money was reversed so I signed into PayPal and sent them an email trying to resolve the case to get my money.

I have tried emailing PayPal at several different emails and through PayPal and have not gotten one response back. I even called them today and they were not very helpful, almost rude, plus their website says their phone waiting time will only be 5 minutes and I had to wait almost 20 minutes.

I tried asking for an address to try to work this out in person and he just ignored the question and kept talking. He kept telling me since I did not sell a tangle item; I was pretty much out of luck, even though they said they were still investigating the case and.

Nowhere on PayPal does it say you CANNOT sell an intangible item, it just says you will not be covered by the sellers protection plan, but what is I was cleaning their house, mowing their lawn or fixed their car. Just because I have no proof that I sent something Im now out everything.

I have found a web site that is against PayPal and even has a forum, I was reading though the postings and this is not the first time this has happened. Luckily mine was only for $575, and not thousands, but I need this money to live.

I have been reading everything about PayPal and everything on paypal.com since I got off the phone with them and their "PayPal Policy" makes NO sense and does everything in the favor of PayPal and the buyer, just so PayPal wont lose out on any money.
