ripped off on ebay help

I won a card on ebay, paid via Paypal, using funds from my checking account and the seller is not responding. Paid on the 25 of November, his phone number listed is no good in his contact info. What is my next step? Since I used Paypal do I have a leg to stand on. Please respond via email or PM thanks Lloydemail

PS after 7 years on ebay, this is my first bad experience.

  • call paypal.
    similar thing happened to me... paypal refurnished my money almost immeadiately. By the time I was off the phone with them the money was back in my account.
    This was 4 years ago before eBay owned them... and the seller was in bad standing with similar complaints.
    In any case, paypal should be a able to tell you your next step.
    good luck. I hate to see bad things happen to good people like you.

    File a non-delivery complaint with PayPal NOW. They give sellers 7 biz days after payment to get your goods to you, so you are in a position to do this. But if you file your complaint more than 30 days after payment (45 days next year), kiss your $$ goodbye.

    They will ask the seller to give the tracking number. If he is unable to do so, they will charge back the money. (There are horror stories of scummy sellers providing a tracking number of 0000000000 or any random series of numbers and the PayPal computer accepting it, but I don't know if that's true)
  • I would also notify ebay that the seller's contact information is invalid. That is also in violation of ebay policy.

    Good luck!

    He did the deal on November 25. That means that 45 days is up roughly around Jan. 10. Will paypal extend the new 45 day period back to November, or does he only have until 30 days after November 25th?

  • The new policy does not kick in until 01/14. Get your complaint in now.
