what do i do if i was scammed?

I paid laststand2006 30 paypal after he went green for me. however, his account was placed on hold today. what should i do get get my paypal money bac?

File a paypal dispute. If you listed the sale as "goods" say that you never got anything. They will have to provide a tracking number (nothing was sent so he cant) and yu get the $$ back. If you selected "service" file a dispute wait for them to probably deny your claim and then do a credit card chargeback if possible. If you didnt pay by a credit card funded payment and your claim is denied give him a call.

i listed as service. so i just contact paypal and then can get money back?

[quote1bfacb34c4="mldragon89"]i listed as service. so i just contact paypal and then can get money back?[/quote1bfacb34c4]First file a paypal dispute online. If you win then you will get your money back IF he has a paypal balance.

If they deny the dispute or he already emptied the account you can file a chargeback with your credit card company if you funded the payment with a credit card.

o.. so when i trade next time, i should just select Goods?

Yes.

Cool, I didn't know that. Learned somthing new. Luckly, I've been doing that all long though )

i always thought you had to pick Service. how can you explain the Goods if you wanted the person to go green on a site?

Let's just say you stretch the truth quite a bit.....;)

so this is allowed whenever I pay Paypal in the future?

Maybe? )

Try to fund your payments with a credit card. (if you have a balance request a withdrawl to send your $$$ to your bank account) Attach a credit card to your paypal account and when/if you get scammed you can use a credit card chargeback as a last resort.

Referals are good.....s

so if I pay under Goods, will I 100% be able to get my money back if I get scammed?

^^^ you definately have a better chance than for a service or quasi-cash...

ok. thanks. I sent paypal under Goods and when I open a dispute, they ask for what the Goods is, do I select Virtual Money?
