Paypal advice..., by aladdinsane on Nov 6, 2008 15:39:20 GMT 1, Lost an auction for a print I wanted and the seller said he had another. Sent me a buy it now and I purchased and paid through Paypal. All good except no contact going on a month from the guy. I've bought and sold all sorts of stuff from eBay over the years never had a problem so I am not 100% sure where to go next. Do I wait for the Paypal dispute to go through and see if they recover the funds from this fucks account hoping there's money in there or do I immediately follow this dispute up with one from my credit card company? I'm just curious how long do I want till I contact the credit card people.

Paypal advice..., by origo on Nov 6, 2008 15:42:12 GMT 1, After a month I would take it to the credit card company for sure, donยดt wait more.
When the guy doesnยดt get back to you, I think itยดs pretty obvious whatยดs going on.

what were you buying?
let us know how you get on

Paypal advice..., by micko on Nov 6, 2008 15:52:37 GMT 1, I fear a very similar situation going on with me. Bought a print from Ebay thru Paypal and it hasn't shown up yet. If it's not hear by this weekend next steps will be to dispute the charge with my credit card company and file a dispute with paypal. as i've never done that before, i can only hope/imagine its the right cause of action.
for you, it might be worth sounding the alarm right now with both of those entities as there might be some sort of timeframe for you to place a claim that could be in jeopardy of lapsing. basically - throw all options and the kitchen sink at the problem.
question: i have read claims on these boards that no paypal transaction is completed without positive feedback being given first . does anyone know if this is absolutely the case?

Paypal advice..., by Heavyconsumer on Nov 6, 2008 16:00:32 GMT 1, You can also try giving ebay phone support a call on +44 2080802105
If you do enter a Paypal dispute, if you find yourself calling them up by phone, make sure you ask for the European call centre in Dublin. I've suffered MAJOT incompetency issues in both attendants and supervisors in the Manila call centre. You can ask for Europe and will be transfered and get a much more professional service, with less misinformation and time-wasting.

Paypal advice..., by aladdinsane on Nov 6, 2008 16:08:24 GMT 1, I was buying the D-Face Superman print. I knew when I did the buy it now that it would still be some time before he received the print in hand. But it's been two weeks since people started posting they arrived on the forums so I've asked just an update. Did it arrive, has it shipped, but no response. I noticed he just took a negative for a $1500.00 vinyl lp he failed to ship the winner which pushed me to escalate things.

This dosnt happen on all transactions, ive had it on a few items (not art but stuff in my ebay shop).
Paypal hold the money until you have been left positive feedback or if no feedback is left the funds are released after 28 days.
When you get an arsehole who wont leave feedback it can be annoying.
