Paypal "enhanced Seller Protection" email

[TanksAndSpartans]

Yeah, its something new. I'm not sure about "resigning up with name/address/DOB/Social etc???", I think its just their attempt to try to get you to link a bank account. I wound up having to call customer service - you can pm me if you get stuck trying to "accept" your money.

It asks for all of your info again. I already have a bank account and credit card linked to the PP account. It gives me the choice of sending it directly to my back or opening the new cash account. I just send it to the bank and it goes thru just as it used to. I can't imagine they are having every user, reup for the new cash account.

There is a little-known codicil in the PayPal rules which gives the company unlimited power to preserve order in time of emergency. Find me a way to minimize our liability and pass all the risks to seller. Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit, just like you, right? [Greg nods] The time has come for someone to put their foot down. And that foot is me.

One of the main problems has been the “not as described” returns in which the buyer lies and says that they got something else and PayPal gives them back their money. That is not fixed here.

I am an unfortunate recipient of the scam loop hole. I made a thread about selling a 1952 Topps Mathews RC a couple of weeks ago. Buyer filed a charge-back with their credit card company, got refunded, now their credit card co. is in dispute with Paypal to get their money back. Buyer never contacted me to negotiate a refund of any kind. Buyer has possession of the card AND their money back ($1750 card). My case is still in dispute with PayPal. Some board members recommended I get the police involved. I decided to wait on official word from PayPal regarding the conclusion before I pursue alternative action.

This one really sucks. I would contact your local authorities and at least file a report. That buyer should be in jail.

As for PP, they want docs I am not willing to give them in order to leave money there. So I just transfer it right to my bank account. Not a big deal.

I would also add that once you file a report, I would inform Paypal as well that you have done so. Might not do anything beyond indicating to them that you were serious, but it can't hurt.

I had a dispute last year on a small purchase under $10. PayPal told me that it would take several months to go back and forth with the credit card company. I got my money back because the tracking was proof. But that was under $10.

If it was me in your situation I would make it a point to get it resolved today. Call PayPal and tell them that you are out the card and the money. If they don’t do anything to help and say that they can’t, tell them you are going to call the police and do it. The longer you wait the less chance there is of getting it back.
Especially if he moves / cancels credit cards / closes bank account / disappears etc.

You are making a mistake not taking it to the authorities immediately and aggressively. If you wait too long the cops will ignore your request. It has happened to other collectors I know. The cops already tend to minimize theft in the hobby because it is just baseball cards, so it is a joke to them to begin with.
