That's a bummer. Does the buyer have 100% feedback? Whenever I sell something on ebay, I usually block bidders who have 0 feedback. I also keep on eye on the bid history and block bidders who do not have 100% feedback. I do this only to minimize such issues as yours.

 

Unfortunately, yes the buyer had a few positive feedbacks and no negative feedbacks, so I thought all was good.

 

Paypal + Ebay scvks, too many unknowns.

 

dang dude. that sucks. There doesn't seem to be a thing you can do about it. Even if you knew the problem beforehand.
wow!

 

Oh well, it sounds like i'm just screwed in this case. Lesson learned I guess:

-Never use Paypal
-Never use Ebay
-If you must sell something online, have it all done through mail with insurance and every kind of confirmation possible.

Makes me sick, all of the Ebay & Paypal scamming that goes on. Now I just read a post from Seung a few posts down, yet another sad story.

 

Technically you are breaking the rules with blizzard. So dont' feel bad.

Otherwise...

Email blizzard and say someone took your beta testing(lol). To be a beta tester id think that you gonna have some special # or code to beable to get the download to test it. Report that someone hacked your mail and now you can't test it. They can probably check on who they sent the emails to that would match up with that # or code. Being that the email and # doesn't match they will not allow tester to test anymore.

Hope that all makes sence

 

I had my ebay account hacked. Its very possible, AND probable. Sorry for your loss.

 

Paypal does suck when it comes compensation. If you have a negative amount in your Paypal account, they will take it out of your bank or credit card, whichever you're using with them.

 

Paypal can also reverse the funds from your bank account.

 

Not if you've withdrawn TO an account not connected to Paypal.

Account A is the one Paypal has access to. Every week, on Friday, I will place all funds into Account B to prevent them from stealing money from me.


I have never given any such information to Paypal. I simply won't do business with someone who insists on using Paypal. It's check or charge with me. If cash, then I'll draw up a receipt and have BOTH parties sign it.
