Problems with Buyers who abuse Chargebacks/Unauthorised Claims on Paypal
Here's what happened.
I ran a WSO a few days ago. It's in my sig. One guy with the email gaurav paid me $37 for the product and I immediately sent it over. 15 mins later he claimed that he didn't purchase it and demanded a refund. He claimed that it was bought by someone else I was like wth.. how and why would a person just randomly use a hacked paypal account to buy a random eBook on a forum. Wouldn't you just change the password??
And here's the best part, the so called "unauthorized seller" conveniently left a link as a purchase note to the original WSO thread so that gaurav could access it and use it against me and say I was providing refunds so he could've just asked for a refund instead of resolving to this.
That link in the purchase note was the ONLY way gaurav could've found out where the eBook was bought. So thoughtful of the "unauthorized seller" don't you think?
Of course now I have an unnecessary Paypal dispute on my hands because of him. So he's either a cheapskate liar who's cheating honest sellers or a careless idiot who let his account get hacked.
And what's worse was that I found this pm in my inbox.

Btw, I have provided 2 full refunds for that WSO to this date and I will continue to do so if you feel that it wouldn't work. My reviews speak for themselves and my buyers can vouch for me. I have nothing to hide.
The thing is that gaurav could've just requested for a refund if he wasn't happy with his purchase and I would've given one straight. Now I'm just pissed and his $37 is gonna be on hold for about 75 days. Whoopee.
And even now I'm nice enough not to post his paypal email here.
What people would do just to get something for free... >_>
Sellers please be aware of this and take caution.
Rant over.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
