I need help! I was selling doll furniture & pay a company to drop ship for me. I was suspended from paypal 1st. I talked to a rep at paypal, they said I did NOTHING wrong but they just didn't want to take the chance since I drop ship. Ok fine NO PAYPAL then @ 1 month later my ebay account was suspended got an email stating that it was because my paypal account was suspended. Called paypal they said that shouldn't have happened & they would fix it & talk to ebay or email them, let them know that it shouldn't have suspended my ebay account. Got email from ebay stating that they would reinstate my account a few weeks later I re email them and got the same bull crap email. STILL WAITING TWO YEARS LATER!! New info doesnt work, they track it somehow and suspend it. Has anyone tried those get back on ebay INFO? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS PURCHASED ANYTHING THAT HAS WORKED (longer than a few months) \nor http://ebaysuspension.ezguidebooks.com/

Anyobdy who buy, sells, or sees a scam on ebay needs to contact ebay & paypal.  I foyu go to your my ebay page, there should be a link to their center for reporting scams.\n\nA quick tip: every spoof email from ebay I'm recieved is from[support,sales, etc.] "@eBay.com".  However, real ebay emails are from @ebay.com.  Real ebay doesn't use a capital "b" in it's sent bar.  However, this could always change, since scammers are becoming better.

Paypal has always worked well for me.  Usually, I'll pay for an item on ebay, then go check my Paypal account and the transaction has been processed from my bank account and already made to the person I bought the item from.  Make sure you get "Verified" on there, and if you still have trouble, contact Paypal.

Your a victim of a "phishing" scam.\nThe best way is to type paypal into your internet explorer and then log into your account.\nYou can then check the status.\nIf you responded to the e-mail and it asked you to log into your account. You just gave somebody the keys to your account and they can clean you out.\nChange your password and let PayPal know what happened.

First of all be sure you are not overcharging for shipping and handling.  I notice a lot of sellers of late are doing that and their sales have gone down. Be reasonable on your shipping and state what it is or use the shipping calculator. Items with picture on the search do better I find.  I don't know how many items you list at a time, but limit it to 5 to 10--that way if they don't sell you are not hit with a big seller fee all at once.  Hang in there, some of my things will sell like crazy one time and next time, maybe none or just one.  Good luck.

PayPal can truly be a pain in the butt sometimes. I have dealt with them on credit/refund issues and they did not resolve the matter very expiditiously and their Customer Service group is not very efficient.

Whenever I need to buy something, I check eBay first. I look first at auctions that have a reasonable shipping cost and a Buy It Now option at a reasonable price. I stay away from sellers that don't accept Paypal or charge excessive S&H. If I ask a question and don't get a response within a day, I skip that auction. I consider feedback also. Everything else being equal, the auction that provides the most complete information is the one I'm most likely to pursue.

Drop shippers dont work on Ebay.  But, if you want to know a true drop shipper, go for the ones that dont ask for money upfront.  They only ask for it when you make a sale.  Why ask for money up front and discourage you from ever trying to sell their product?  Each person they recruit could end up selling thousands for them.  It only takes one person.  Some drop shippers go and steal your customers by sending the product to your customers, but they dont put your name on the return label.  They put their name on there.  Drop shippers dont work unless you have a website or catalog.  But, I would suggest, after getting a steady order for your products, you should try to hold inventory to minimize these greedy dropshippers.  Just dont buy more then you can sell.  Some drop shippers help you create a website, and dont do much else.  They charge you for a website and then, dont help you at all.   They already got you.  And they might even try to get you to hold inventory even with no customer base.  Be careful.  If I were to try a drop shipper, I would spend the least as possible.  Like print out my own business card with a cheaply created website and see if people buy.  Then, I would slowly upgrade.  If it doesnt work, I throw away the free website and toss the cheap business cards and start all over.

Unfortunately Ebay is usually biased towards the seller since they are the ones that provide Ebay's income. I am surprised that Paypal only gave you a partial refund. The seller must have provided some proof of mailing your item. The Post Office can often be faulted for lost shipments thereby making it a good idea to pay for insurance if your item cost any kind of substantial amount of money.

PayPal itself is secure. Your concern as to whether or not you will receive the items is more a question of the trustworthiness of the seller.\n\nI have been using it for five years with no problems with PayPal. I have had very few problems with sellers, but the same problems would have existed whether I had sent a check, money order or cash. The problems are not with PayPal.\n\nOne thing to keep in mind is to view all emails regarding your PayPal account carefully. Many false emails are sent out claiming to be from PayPal asking for your account information. They may also provide a link so that you can sign in to "verify" your account - except that the link takes you to *their* web site that looks very much like PayPal's and they will have your password.\n\nThis process is known as "phishing", and it is simply someone trying to take your money. Please refer to the following:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing\n\nand PayPal's site:\n\nhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/general/Privacy-outside\n\nBottom line is this - NEVER use a link to go to PayPal - always go there by using your own bookmark or by typing in the URL yourself. Only exception that I have to this rule is this: I will use eBay's links to PayPal, since eBay owns PayPal.\n\nI don't mean to scare you off. PayPal is fantastic, but with any emails you receive think to yourself - if I received a phone call with somebody asking for this information, would I answer it?\n\nHope this helps. Happy shopping!

From the paypal website.\n\nWhen you pay with PayPal, you gain access to a forum for dispute resolution called the Resolution Center. Through it, you can file a claim against:\nA physical good that you paid for but never received.\n\n\nA physical good you purchased on eBay that is significantly different than what was described in the listing. \nDispute Resolution specialists gather information about your transaction and help you resolve the issue. Throughout the process, you’ll be advised of your claim’s status via email and on your Account Overview page.\n\nFor specific terms and conditions, please review the Buyer Complaint Policy in our User Agreement.

I am sorry to hear of what happened. This should be a lesson for you in terms of the dangers of online selling. I sure hope that now you don't think anymore that the man contacted you "IN GOOD FAITH" because as you are now aware, his intention is to simply empty your bank account.\n\nI don't think there is any organization in the world that can help you get your money back, especially since you are in the Philippines and this is Nigerian. If you think the person gave you correct name and contact info, you may want to file a complaint with the Nigerian embassy in the Philippines. It may not likely result to you getting back your money, but sometimes the process of doing something can make you feel better.\n\nI also have a website, and we CANCEL all orders coming from Nigeria and other well known hot beds of ecommerce scams (sorry to Nigerians here, but Nigerian scams are giving a bad bad reputation to Nigeria) -- no matter how well meaning the transaction appear to be. \n\nAnd DON'T EVER EVER GIVE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AGAIN. Don't deviate from your well established procedures like accepting only payments from Paypal.\n\nRead the article "How to Protect Your Business from Online Fraud" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol34/fraud.htm

You're not going to like this, but no. NO! and NO again.\n\nI suggest looking at the help section more closely. eBay deals with a crapload of situations much like yours on a daily basis. Its actually the person bidding on your items' fault.\n\nYou don't need a person to credit your fvf, you can do it yourself at the help section.

You are protected with paypal, You can always claim your money back if you don't receive the item, always look at the persons feedback to see how reliable they are, buy low value items ie 99p to get the expereince of trading!! \n\nvisit www.moneysaving.com and look in the ebays board...... there is loads of help there - I am a board advisor :)
