A good friend of mine (also a PFer) is going thru this with a buyer (another PFer). We think the buyer just didnt want the bag (she's been known according to her feedback to be "difficult" to work with), so she reported to PayPal that she received a fake bag. Evidently PayPal has not been satisfied with what the buyer has been sending to them in terms of proof its fake. I think the seller will win this one. I personally have never been thru this. I hope it works out for everyone here on this Forum who may be dealing with a nasty buyer.
^^That makes me really sad. You'd think PF'er would be the easiest ones to work with. Perhaps I give people more credit than they deserve.
I once had a PF er accuse me of false advertising after receiving an item. Saying it was not as decribed. The only problem was that I
hand delivered it to her the day before. Hello?
So how can you tell me its not what you thought when I put it in your hand and you looked it over while I was looking right at you. And said how happy you were?
Sounded to me like they slept on it and changed their mind the next day.
People get deperate and will say anything once they get buyers remorse. Its quite sad and unfortunate.
It made me realize that I can't trust everyone no matter what the affiliation. And no one is going to look out for you--but you. I love ebay and purseforum but you cannot
completly trust paypal, ebay or purseforum or anyone else for that matter to save the day when a villain attacks. Its not a perfect world and it does not always happen that way. Always take precautions if possible.
Another pF'er suggested tagging items to protect from bait and switch and i think that's a great idea.
But it scares me to think that paypal will do a chargeback without having all the facts. People are too dishonest and that could be a disaster. Now I see why some sellers refuse to take paypal. But I'm scared of those people too LOL . What a mess
