    Got a paypal refund, in full.:)

    Although I had to send the item back, cost me €5:17. for registered post.
    I probably could have sent it back a cheaper way but wasn't sure.

    Got an e-mail from them looking for proof today even though I had given them the track and trace number.
    I sent them a scanned copy of the registered post book, stamped by the post office.
    I rang paypal about an hour later and they said the case was closed, full refund.
    The bloke on the phone was sound and I told him the full story, so he put a block on the Paypal account.

    Lesson learned.

    (Gonna hit Focalprice now)

    Glad you got your money back. You had to send the item back though? To the scammer? Don't understand why they'd want you to do that :confused:

    I got caught before on eBay by a scam, when I opened a dispute with PayPal, they found in my favour for the case but could not give me back my money as the PayPal account was closed? I ended up going through chargeback on my credit card. I had to wait 60 days but it was cleared up by the bank in about 2 days. I advise people now to link their credit card to PayPal. Double the protection.

    They probably wanted to cover all angles, in case he argued it was a genuine mistake maybe?
    I just had to show proof of postage. They never waited to see if he got it.

    If you don't send it back can you do a chargeback through your credit card instead? Why should the buyer be left out of pocket for the postage costs when the item is not what was ordered?

    duno what that is? i payed with paypal and asked them to refund me from day 1 but got the earrings in the post today, It did cost 5.16 to send it back i suppose 20 back and the knowledge that this ****er didnt get money off me is the main driving force now :)

    These guys try these scams because all they need is 1 out of 1000 not to bother trying to get their money back and they get the money.

    Bah just to update, rang paypal today because the damn claim went back a step, explained to them that he sent me earrings instead of a tablet PC, it was like it was the first time they heard that when i wrote it on the claim a couple of weeks ago, anyway i explained the whole thing to him about getting an email from ebay saying the seller removed the item etc and that he sent me a pair of earrings and that i sent them back to that address he gave, seems all paypal are waiting for now is an attempt at delivery or a delivery and i get my money back then, i dont really care tbh its just 25eur but its down to pride now :mad:
