So much goes on while we down under sleep.
Still waiting for either my money or btc. Yes, btc.
We can all see this issue has arisen from June's unverified PayPal account.
If you are having all these issues with PayPal, send the btc.
Send them escrow, I will cancel the claim in your favour. Escrow releases btc to me. You deal with your PayPal account.
Wulabwutech, will you be escrow?
Or how do we get this john k guy on board?
Fixing this for an innocent customer shouldn't take this long...
Nope! Not getting involved in this soap opera, sorry! I'll help mediate, but if I get too involved I'm gonna need to run out to buy more aspirin for the headache I will undoubtedly get. The thing with PP and BTC is that PP is reversible up to a month I believe and CC's are reversible up to 6 months. So unless you want the escrow to go that long, it's hard to know one party won't just chargeback the other.
(An aside, this is why PP has such a bad rep on this forum. Note that this is only true for USD (or other fiat) <--> BTC transactions. I've had people here refuse to use PP b/c they are afraid of chargebacks when they are shipping physical items to me. Remember, because you can prove physical shipment, PayPal seller protection in in effect)
Dude, PayPal are waiting a response from YOU.
Just log into your PayPal , go to dispute resolution centre, go to my dispute claim, click you agree that no goods/service were provided and to settle claim in purchasers (mine) favour. Nothing hard about it. Forget refunding , forget exchange BS, forget calling - just resolve the claim in the dispute resolution centre of your PayPal.
And I dont want to hear any other nonsense...no 'wtf, now PayPal have locked me out of my account, so I can't log in to resolve dispute, yadder yadder.
It'll take you all of 1 minute.
Thank you.
I know it's frustrating for you, the customer, but this is a long known issue with PayPal and it's account lock process. It sucks when it happens to you, but fortunately it's only once in a while that this happens. If you look at his video screencap above, you can see that he really CAN'T refund you your money. There is some glitch in the system that does not allow him to do that. Fortunately, if he is telling the truth (which there is no reason to believe he hasn't sent the require documents at this point), you'll get your money back by the end of the week. But from his screencap, (@0:37) you can clearly see that he is not disputing it on his end, so worst case scenario is that 7 days pass, and you elevate this claim to PP and they give you your money back. It's delayed for you, but you won't be out anything.
I know it sucks to have to wait, but I sincerely doubt he's a scammer, and even if he is, I doubt he could have planned to scam you in this manner. You can't force a lock on a PayPal account, so it must be by coincidence that this happened, quite unfortunately for you, right as you placed an order with him.
I should note that it is in his best interest to resolve this with PP before you get the chargeback. It'll become harder to unlock his account once he has a chargeback on his record.
