Scammed On Ebay
So in 2008 I was dumb enough to buy some item to use in-game with World of Warcraft off Ebay. I made sure the people were verified and had atleast 5+ rep. But even after doing so I still go jiped. I paid for the item from someone who looked legit, they received a large sum of money and after probably a day I decided to reverse the payment since I had not heard back. After doing so this happens:
Original Transaction
Aug 25, 2008
Payment To April and Justins Stuff Reversed
Payment -----------------> -$***.00 USD
Charge--------------------->$***.00 USD
Reversal-------------------->$***.00 USD
Credit----------------------->-$***.00 USD
Total Returned------------>-$***.00 USD
I distinctly remember contacting paypal with them eventually saying something along the lines of, "Sorry, we might get it back when they use their account." I let it go thinking it would get figured out (It never did).
So stupidity I gave it another try and long story short it happened again as follows:
Original Transaction
Aug 28, 2008
Payment To Erika Vega Reversed
Payment -----------------> -$***.00 USD
Charge--------------------->$***.00 USD
Reversal-------------------->$**.00 USD
Credit----------------------->-$**.00 USD
Total Returned------------>-$***.00 USD
Eventually I did get what I wanted but it definitely was not worth all of this. I probably should have taken some other action at the time but I wasn't sure what else I could do. Unfortunately I thought paypal would handle it but all the times I've contacted them they just sounded clueless and basically told me I was out of luck.
If anyone has any advice on what I could do it would be much appreciated.
