eBay and paypal

Post by TheCatt »

Been selling stuff I bought on Gravy using eBay.

Today, I got a notice that someone contested the charge of the thing I bought using Paypal, saying it was an unauthorized purchase. For a $199 item.

Fortunately, I was covered by PayPal Buyer Protection, so I got to keep the $$$, but damn.

What was the argument?

The buyer claimed they did not authorize the purchase (they were hacked, or something).

So they would try and get... what... their item back from you?

I always assume people are scamming.

Get the item for free?

Oddly, I got the $, and eBay is also refunding my fees.

So... I guess I get $20 back?

You said it was an item you bought, and gave them $200. I'm not seeing the connection to "they get the item for free." You have the item? Or... you paid and then they never sent the item, and contested....

it doesn't make sense.

I bought on Gravy. I re-sell on eBay. So I sold an item for $200.

Hope that helps.

Ooooohhhh. That was the missing element.

And that's what prompted my original, "What was their argument?" question. Didn't make sense.
