KYHockey3 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 my dad got his credit card bill te other day, and there was a 600$ bill for a plane ticket to like ireland or something.he doesnt have to pay the 600$, but it is bad that i didnt even know someone got on our paypal account and used it. i cancelled my account for paypal and made a new one.i think i am lucky that it was only 600$, but it could have been worse.has anyone gotten money "stolen" on paypal before?

hamstercaster 2 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 What makes you think that it was done from your Paypal account? The card could have been cloned while paying for gas, buying shoes or whatever.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambro 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 All PayPal transfers appear on your bill as *PAYPAL*(recipient's PayPal username), so I'm assuming the $600 charge was listed under that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamstercaster 2 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Quite possibly. I guess I should have assumed that he could see the expense on his credit card statement under Paypal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BK 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Yeah, I wouldn't sell to a place whose chief exports are war crimes and incurable diseases. :lol:I actually laughed at your comment.Yea, its a pain in the ass when you are trying to sell something. If its worth anything, be prepaired for spam from Hamalalalababalla from Nigera who wants to give his daughter a gift before she heads off to college. If you sell internationally, chances are it will be bought by some scam artist and you will have to report it to ebay and relist or be prepred to be jipped.I don't even ship to Canada anymore. I just lost $75 in shipping because somebody claimed they didn't get the package and I was too stupid to get a tracking number. Nothing against the Canadian post, but its too expensive, too much of a hassle and really just not worth it on my part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 LC, you might want to have your dad cancel the card and have a new number issued, just in case. Jasper, just put in the listing that you won't sell internationally. I believe that you can also contact the second-highest bidder to see if they want to buy the item, as this has happened to me with a pair of gloves before.

SR27 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2006 Actually ebay should let you blacklist certain countries since even if you check domestic shipping only anyone can still bid on it. I just had a nice guy from Hungary buy a pair of Slip-Ons off of me with seconds remaining while I clearly said no int. shipping. Bottom line he was unable to pay for almost a month then when I relisted he told me he just made a bank transfer and two days later I got money minus 20 $ banking fees that he forward to me. WTF? Now I´m sitting on half the money and he wants the shoes or money back. There just won´t be any money after fees if I send it back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
