Thieving lying b@st@rds
Just got an email from paypal saying there has been a charge back made against my account from may 2008, somehow they say the buyers card was used
without there knowledge!! 
So they take the money first since its the credit card company. (not happy)
Luckily i sent it recorded delivery, so i have proof of receipt.
Just got to wait and see
So i suppose the moral of the story is send things recorded delivery otherwise i wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

I'm not too confident Paypal will fight your corner too hard having seen several recent posts unfortunately. Really hope they do though but
i've lost most of my confidence in them

As soon as I saw the topic title I knew it was going to be about paypal.
Proof of reciept appears to mean jack $hit it seems as Mr Isons found out

I'm really surprised that some "no win, no fee" lawyer hasn't picked up on this scam so far and started procedings against
Paypal for theft/fraud...

Paypal is part of Ebay...It has huge muscles..Also makes you wonder why the 2 entities are kept separate when in fact they are one and the same.
Incidentally I read somewhere that Ebay got clobbered for £30 mill for some indiscretion...Something to do with dodgy goods being sold on the site
LOL!

French court
They prosecuted the French ebay for failing to do enough to prevent sales of counterfeit goods from LVMH

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You wont win this one I'm afraid, and this is from someone who fought with them for five months to win one battle with them.
They will just keep reverting to "the credit card company as initiated the charge back" not them.
Trouble is THEY, paypal allegedly verify card details address ect but pass on the costs of their inadequacies to you the seller.
IO did have a long battle with them over a charge back, know what their general response was ? "We should build into the cost of items enough to
cover charge backs as they will happen"
As I said above, its very annoying, if we had taken the card payment over the phone fair enough, our problem, our fault, but paypal took the payment
on our/your behalf, we/you paid them commission to do so, they should carry the risk of cards THEY verify, not us/you the seller.
Stinks but you wont win this one.

I disagree. It don't believe it is ebay's responsibility to police listing to determine which are fakes, stolen etc. It it the people wh
are selling/advertising the fake items that should have been fined.how many unroadworthy or stolen cars have been sold via Autotraders - do they get
fined? Not that I heard of so why pick on ebay?
The result was ebay users would be charged a bit more to recover the costs.
So if the same was done with a newspaper, would it be the newspapers fault?
