warning Arunas Zygis stole $900 USD from me

[decades80]

Hi,

I've bought a 4L domain under the privacy protect, now I think it was not his and he insisted to pay as a gift 900 USD by PayPal. So I did yesterday,, because I don't like for sellers to pay 5% mostly and offer them gift payment.. Now as of today his account
@ZArunas is auto closed.
What can I do? I just made a dispute on PayPal for unauthorized transaction.
Thank you all in advance,

Robert

It appears you have cheated Paypal of a commission - and now you want Paypal to intervene?

Not speaking of Op's intent, he actually did pay via paypal for goods and not F&F so he did not actually cheat PP out of a commission...

Sounds as though they did breach terms of use.

How?

 

[Justin Matmor]

The method user to transfer the money was not meant to be used for commercial transactions.

 

[offthehandle]

Sorry to hear that Decades80.

 

[uglydork]

I paid $400 for a great lesson - it could have been much more. Live and learn.

 

[baseballworld]

Wow dude you help people all the time with parking and everything around here. I even enjoy reading your stuff. For someone to do this to a guy like you is just unreal.

 

[baseballworld]

Here are details on that:

In a nut shell do this method at your own risk. namepros is not liable if you do it,

I'm pretty sure namepros is not liable for anythning we do on namepros. so we don't really have to list for what things np is not liable.

cheers

A lesson to learn...

 

[Robert G]

maybe tell paypal, someone in your house used your account without your permission

Paypal refunded me yesterday night, the full amount up to the cent. I believe it was a good thing to react quickly, do the dispute as soon as possible and write some tickets in their support system, because in such cases they are able to reverse payments, before they reach the bank account or card. I guess they can even freeze the connected Paypal accounts and, or payments. Thumbs up in this case for Paypal.

 

[amit chowdhury]

So its lesson for us, take the deals through escrow service though we have to pay 5-10% more.

Thanks for the thread.

 

[golan]

I'm actually surprised Paypal returned the gift payment. Never heard about that. Congratulations!

Wasn't a gift payment

Wasn't a gift payment

he insisted to pay as a gift 900 USD by PayPal

 

[anantj]

Please see the entire thread. Lots of developments and modifications to the case in subsequent posts
Specifically:

The difference was that @uglydork used "Send money to friends and family" (personal payment) and @decades80 used "Pay for goods or services" (business payment). Personal payments are not protected by PayPal at all, which is why scammers try to get buyers to use it.

We're still investigating and will have an update soon.

Hope that helps,

Sorry to hear...I had similar experience when I sent the money for services to someone like to friend...when using paypal - pay for anything as for service. In case the seller doesn't provide the item - you can get the money back by opening dispute. Otherwise - there is not possible to refund.

try to contact paypal support, I know if you pay as gift they have no responsability, but I had excatly the same problem and paypal helped me.
