I sold something via ebay and the buyer has opened a dispute claiming the goods were ’significantly not as described’. This is absolute rubbish as the item listing was 100% accurate, the buyer just bought the wrong size shoes. Anyway, PayPal have decided that she is in the right and have taken the money back out of my account, leaving me with a negative balance.
I was not asked to supply any evidence to support my case, and when I pointed out that I could supply some, I was told that PayPal do not consider such items of evidence (photographs) and their terms and conditions mean they can overrule the ‘no refund’ statement I had put in my original item listing.
Their service has been disgraceful and has left me out of pocket and looking like a scammer, when I did nothing wrong.

I totally agree with you about paypal , it is a scam company , They have blocked my account and held my money 3 times in the past 3 weeks and can give me no reason for it ,I think whattheya re doing is holding my money for 2to 3 days and if they do this with even 1% of their customers ,then it is a tidy sum of interest for them in their bank ,
When you phone them ,you might as well be talking to a robot as all the customer service agents seemed to be brain washed witht he same speel and it is like banging my head of a brick wall trying to get through to these idiots ,
BEWARE PAYPAL IS A JOKE and will only hold your payments in their account until such time as they feel like releasing it .
What they are doing is against the law ,it is stealing a persons money .Man am I mad with them .. CIARAN
