I bidded on a £70 item, on winning it on ebay
The seller sends me a message saying that his paypal recieval limit has been reached, can I send it to his wifes account the payment and he'll mark the transaction as complete.
I said thats fine as long as the account surname on paypal matches your surname on eBay and you deliver to my ebay & paypal matching verified address.
He agreed, I sent payment.
Nothing ever gets received.
I message him. He claims his wife mixed up the delivery and he sent it to the wrong house. The house he sent it to is still in my town.
I open a dispute >> Paypal say postage info for wrong address is sufficient.
Oh and after I paid on ebay buyer changed payment to sent/marked it. I said to ebay i sent payment to address buyer asked it was a outside of paypal transaction/ebay because he SPECIFIED so. I told them he had said about his recieval limit, even offered to send them the messages. | Please re read my earlier post further up......how on earth would you be able to escalate this to a complaint/dispute when on your EB/PP it would show as being unpaid for ???
The item will still have shown as being UNPAID for on your EB/PP A/C (even if the seller marked it as 'complete', if this is even possible ???), with no ELECTRONIC records of any funds being received or recorded by or at the linked eB- PP end for you as a buyer.
You acting outside of EB/PP buyer protection terms with or without the sellers say so has little to no bearing on you then NOT being protected by the buyer scheme....because you acted outside of their buyer/seller protection ToS.
The risk of you rendering yourself ineligible for buyer protection is very high because you paid for an EB item to a DIFFERENT PP A/C.
This transaction account you've conveyed is beyond the 'norm' by most expectations. |
