Bought iphone but got no paypal refund what next?
 

I buuan iphone for 700 dollars and I know for a fact that the seller shipped it to the wrong address on purpose..everyone in my post office knows meee..supposebly therre was a notice left on the da of delivery, I never received it. no package for me in the post office either...I make a dispute claim with paypal..and evan the tracking number states the package was returned to sender....paypal has still concluded the claim in sellers favor...just for the simple fact that he had attempted to deliver the package which I know for sure he sent to wrong address.. what do I do now....im screwed for my money is that what it looks like?

They sell them for $200 at AT&T. On eBay, most iphones are expensive ones and are unlocked iphones which can be done merely for a bit of work instead of the high price. But $700 is higher than I've seen. I don't know why you paid that much.

Well PayPal totally acted against their policy and ripped you off. You know I'm finding stuff like this and I think certain buyers and sellers have friends at eBay or bribe people or something.

If you paid with a credit card, call your company and file a chargeback for an item not received

If you paid by bank account, try opening a dispute with your bank.

Did you call paypal?

same here
 

The same thing happen with me and paypal settled in favor of the other person. Paypal said that its the fault of the reciver for not accepting the package. But anyways i had to call the person serveral times and threaten him with filing a police report and i was serious. So the person refunded my money because he knew i had all his personal information. Try threating him with a police report and mean it.

I think the main problem is that paypal doesnt cover iphones. I was told this once by a guy when I inquired about purchasing them. He said it was because there is only one legit (now 3 i think) places to buy an iphone so they know if youre paying $700 for one it been unlocked and the warranty invalid. I know apple paid a crapload of money to keep that thing so exclusive so whats to stop them from saying to paypal anyone that sells one and doesnt get one rule against them so nobody buys them.

I bet they "Side with Seller" if seller manages to withdraw the money. PayPal would refund it if they had the sellers money in thier system, if they don't than a refund would come out of PayPals pocket and that's not gonna happen.:violin:

Dont think that is true. Even when they side with the buyer if the selller doesnt have any money in the account you just get the he doesnt have sufficient funds. You will get your money when he does blah blah. The money never comes out of paypal's account.

Wait this is confusing. Im not understanding what he did. Are you saying he sent it to your post office and htey sent it back or that he sent it to a random address

why would he send it to some random address
why not just keep the iphone and your money
if you've been scammed open a dispute
the seller will provide some random tracking number and see what happens
why would you pay such a high price for the iphone in the first place

iphones are only $200 from att with a 2 year agreement maybe he didn't want a contract or could not get approve for one

you can get a cheap sim free one
from any shop these days or the internet

why would u pay 700 for an iphone when they're 200 at the store?

I was wondering the same thing.

King maybe that's true, even if it is you can still get one for around $400 on ebay. Who knows why he would pay that much!:doh:

u cant buy an iphone without a contract from att. lots of people (including myself) use other carriers. i see unlocked 3g 16gb brand new selling on ebay for $600+ all the time. plus if you buy from att it you have to get the internet plan @ $35 a month

How would the OP 'know' that it got sent to the wrong address?:spy: Bit
strange.

yeah sounds like he is trying to figure out the best way to get a free iphone

Snagga obviously you would see them selling for that much on ebay if the OP bought one for $700! I am saying I have seen many for $400, so why buy one for that much.

he sent it to the wrong address on purpose..just to prove that it was sent...
I don't understand so I can just change my information with payypal and ebay rright now...list like 4 iphons collect money to bank account and close the bank accouunt and get away with it ????? since paypal and ebay would just have my bank account number with no other information... and paypal has is this really possible I got jipped and I can't do a thing about it...wtf is a police report going to do? nothingggggggg....and just for the record I bought it for that amount becae it was the newest one and unlocked...I dident want a 2 year contract...
