Buyer - "My paypal account was hacked"

[kevin_psx]

Got another annoying problem -
I found out today that someone in Hong Kong had tried to access my paypal account to send themselves money. The error compounded with me going on vacation and didnt know till I got back, so they froze my account. 1 week ago.

I don't believe him 'cause I asked him to send a check & never did. Probably dishonest - how can I prove it? * I wrote today - "The auction ended Thanksgiving. You had time to find some way to pay. If you send Cash or Check by December 16, you won't get a strike. If you provide proof of your account hijacking, you won't get a strike." If he does neither he'll earn a Negative & non-paying Strike.




* What? Am I wearing a sign on my back "SCAM ME"??? LOL

Have him wire the money.

What's the point? So what.

Why do your "annoying problems" always have to lead to an annoying thread?

Seriously, you just come here to bitch, bitch, bitch.

Kevin you should of just made one topic for yourself called Ebay questions and problems.

[Damaramu]

Or just stop using Ebay.

Enough is enough already. -_-

[drummy]

Yeah, we tried helping yo uthe first time, but you made a buttload of eBay topics. And I mean a buttload. Just stop using it, and everyone will be happy. I mean, I got my first negative yesterday, but you don't see me crying about.

Kevin you should of just made one topic for yourself called Ebay questions and problems.

Yeah, everyone gets one "items for sale" thread. Perhaps you should combine all of your eBay problems into one 27 page long ongoing eBay problems thread.

[kevin_psx]

Sorry.

[philosophyst]

Sorry. I'll quit the forum. It's obvious I'm not wanted.

:sob:

No one said to quit the forum, just chill out with all of your crazy topics. Not everything deserves it's own thread.

[kevin_psx]

Okay, but I need help/advice & ye have a lot of experience. That's why I ask.

Griking had some good advice above. Since you seem to have many problems and such, make a topic like "Kevin_psx's problems, need advice". Then it could be a big long thread with all of your issues.

Then it could be a big long thread with all of your issues.

Kevin_psx: Omg! Now some buyer is saying that his ass exploded and he won't pay me!!! Help plz!

:roll:

Never done wire transfers before. How is that better than a check or mailing cash (as i requested when he said paypal don't work)?

Have you read our FAQ lately? I still don't think enough people are.

Farewell Posts
Posts stating anything similar to, "Goodbye forum, I am leaving for good," will be taken seriously and will result in the removal of your account since you will obviously have no further use for it.

As for your having problems and needing "help," it looks to me when you posted this thread, you'd already told the guy what you were going to do, so you didn't need any "help" from anyone, and just wanted to vent instead. That's what the blogs are for.

[kevin_psx]

No I didn't see that. I didn't mean it obviously. Just venting frustration.

I honestly had a similiar problem happen to me, my account was hacked, they froze it and it took ALONG time for me to unfreeze the account. Paypal will do all sorts of things to make you prove that it's your account, such as: send some mail with a special code in it, making you call paypal and give them the code.

I don't see how him not paying for the auction is "scamming", ask him to send you a money order and if he says no, get your fees back and relist, its that simple.
