Pissed off with ebay buyer!!

[pascal125]

Hi Guys,
Well I don't know exactly why I'm bringing this to everyone's attention but I'm hoping that somebody will have an answer.
I sold a PDA on ebay a few months ago for like $200. I didn't go on the computer for about a week so she thought I was ignoring her. She had paid with paypal so she complained.
I saw that she had sent several messages so I went and posted the pda straight away. I hadn't checked the paypal account in a while and it had been over-drawn $185 which I had to pay. So this woman got the PDA and the money back, I tried emailing her about 2 weeks ago but if somebody sent you a message asking for $185 back that lives over the other side of the country they would probably ignore it.

Is there anyway to get the money back?
I was saving that money for parts and now I can't get them...

Maybe some of you guys should take the IQ test at the bottom of the page ... Sure you'd send something before you received either a cleared paypal payment the cleared cash ... As for ebay sellers ... ANYONE who doesn't send items via registered post is a fool ... A dishonest buyer can simply pay by paypal then say they never received the item and unless you have proof that you posted that actual item to their name and address ... you don't have a hope in hell of beating them ...

A postage receipt without those details on it isn't very good proof ... Vice versa if you get rorted and you paid via paypal ... all you have to do is request proof of postage with your name and address on it from the seller and if they can't cough a genuine receipt up ... they're checkmated and you get an instant refund ... I've had quite a few smart asses try to rip me off and I beat them for a refund every single time ... International sellers who try to rort you are especially easy to beat since they also have to state what's in the package plus its weight so you catch them out on several points ... IF you receive a parcel and it doesn't have what you paid for in it OR the item is damaged ... Keep the box and photograph everything immediately from all angles ... send an email to the seller with all your evidence on it and ask them what they think ebay and paypal will think when they see it ...

Yeh I contacted paypal twice, both times I got like some automatic message asking for the email address etc. I told them my email address and they sent me back the same bloody email!!
Yeh, I can imagine that paypal would take the buyers side, but I've used paypal more than 30 times and never happened before.. So now some dis-honest B**TH has the money and item..
Oh well, I'd better start saving again...
