Prior to this change, did you have a resolved claim as a buyer or seller?
going to be more questions but that's a few to start off analysis. | Most of my transactions have been between $1000-$3000. The actuation when this occurs varies and seems random. However, I should note that I've had a transaction for $36.00 reversed at one point without notice, so I don't really think the amount seems to matter. Wether this is an error or glitch that's happening on the buyers end, I don't know. I only sell and ship to USA customers. This happens on Paypal Verified and Confirmed accounts. I've actually experienced this on both eBay and off eBay; I do alot of both.
As a seller. Resolved claims? No. However, I'm still on the receiving end. In my case, the funds are getting reversed back to the buyer without a dispute/case and I do not want that to happen.
As a buyer. I can confirm that it happened to someone else I was buying from. The funds were reversed right back into my account after they shipped. This was not even a rush shipment either. My account got limited the next day.
The main concern I'm having is that this doesn't appear to be proper protocol, especially since this can happen a substantial amount of hours later after the payment has been checked as OK. Paypal has had to make "accounting adjustments" based on these errors (these reversals do not appear to be automated) in order for me to get my money back after the item has been shipped and delivered. Lo and behold, I receive a "Notification of Paypal Account Transaction" shortly later and the money is in my balance, with the initial transaction nowhere to be found (they appear to have removed the initial transaction from my history). Instant reversals like this really leave no room to contest these situations on the website itself as it is not a case. I've had to call, explain the situation, and have them fix things manually.
I've been working for months doing the same thing and I've never seen anything like this before up until recently.
