Multiple negatives and PayPal disputes from same Ebay buyer.. Worth it to save accoun
 

I have a 1000/25K stealth account, 2 years old, great feedbacks before this week. eBay buyer bought two things from me then wants to buy more privately. Can't afford to pay at once and wanted a payment plan to pay 5 different times. I agreed and after she made the 5th payment shipped out the products separately. After she received one, it wasn't to her liking and she left two negatives and opened PayPal disputes for all 5 payments. Now Itll be difficult to sell on eBay, other customers who bought the same thing will want returns, and my PayPal account is limited and they are asking for 1) resolve my account disputes (i.e. Cover my negative balance) 2) supply invoices. The buyer won't retract her negatives even after I promised an outright refund without receiving my products back. I'm thinking if it's even worth it to keep the account as I'll have to cover the negative balance ($2000), hope PayPal will unlimit account after, sell with negatives, deal with potential customer returns. Any thoughts? Wondering if it's worth it just start afresh on a new account.

Moral of the story, don't do deals outside of Ebay. Sorry to hear what happened though. You really only have 2 options:
1. Supply Invoices, Cover the $$ being disputed
2. Abandon the account

Got suspended this morning. Very weird as my previous suspensions involved a few warnings before. This time, after 2 negs (on an aged account with lots of positive feedbacks otherwise), got suspended right away. I closed my bank account this morning so at least I don't have to pay my ebay fees. I was turning over $20K a month in profit with happy customers so far (except for the most recent one) so very surprised how that happened.

If I stiff Ebay and Paypal for the fees, since I closed my bank account, can they come after me somehow? I've used echecks to pay my fees a few times by accident (didn't buy a VCC in time to pay with a CC) so maybe they can see my real name?

I also have 1 outstanding dispute on Paypal where the buyer paid for 1 thing in several payments (see ^^^), and refuses to ship back the item until after I refund her, which I won't do, if I leave Paypal as is, will they end up refunding her or will they chase after my (closed) bank account?

I've never closed a bank account while the linked Paypal still had an ongoing dispute and I'm worried what will happen next esp. if my real bank account is linked to it.

Forum is not to encourage stiffing ebay for fees.

You used the service, you pay the fees. Call up PP and deal with your dispute properly.

I will tell Paypal I can refund after receiving my item back. I just noticed now that the buyerescalated this to Paypal so I don't have the option to even click "send back the item" :s. If I refund now, I lose both my product and money.
