PayPal does not offer protection for these, as they have 0 way to verify tht you did or did not deliver.

If you take them to court, you are losing a ton of money, and your case will lose. Your attorney is a complete idiot to think he will win, or he is scamming you also by lying to you.

I reluctantly have to agree. You're going against Goliath armed with nothing but a spitball and a straw. You have a better chance of memorizing the SHA256 algorithm and brain-mining a block of coins.

I would take that same anger and energy and channel it to a place where you can make a change. There are many.

Bitcoin community,

I have been scammed for a few thousand dollars on eBay + PayPal (over 80 BTC). After selling the bitcoins, all of the buyers filed a chargeback, and PayPal returned the whole funds to them out of my account, and on top of all charged me with PayPal and chargeback fees.
I am willing to sue PayPal for the act, and already contacted an attorney who believes we have a claim. We will probably sue them for committing and allowing fraud through their systems, without supervising.
I have contacted PayPal 13 times already, regarding the claims but to no avail.

Since I believe a few others were scammed the same way, I wish to sue as a group against this massive corporation.

Does anyone wish to form a group?

Wait why did ALL of your customers due paypal chargebacks???

I am interested in joining you. I was scammed the same way as you for thousands of dollars. I used localbitcoins.com and have a digitally signed proof of delivery for every sale. Yet Paypal just took money out my account.

5 minutes on Google would have told you that 99% of all ebay/paypal btc transactions end in tears. This is why you send something physical to have a tracking number i.e " your buying my autograph with a free bitcoin". Good luck trying to prove that you did send the coins (what with anonymity and all) people have been refused dispute videoing themselves sending them. Sounds like your attorney has spotted you as a mark as well.

The do allow it. They allow virtual items/currency, and they said it when we called them. They just don't hand seller or buyer protection, but still allow chargebacks. In this case, PayPal just wants to enjoy the benefits of receiving a good sum, from people getting scammed. I have already cancelled my credit card to fight against the fraud, so they will not be able to charge it. Talked to the credit card company, and they said it seems to be a fraud to them so they allowed cancelling it.

That's not gonna happen. Buying and selling virtual currencies is against paypal's TOS. They won't help you with such charge-backs.

exactly what these guys have said. you agreed to their terms of service and that includes not trading other currencies. pretty crappy 'attorney' you have there

Keep it real

Pretty sure paypal does not allow currency exchange, so this probably going nowhere. It's what you get for taking a currency that can be reversed when selling one that can't.
