Claim and Cancel question.

Claim & Cancel (Specifically for Buyers)

There are a lot of people who don’t know what Claim & Cancel is specifically nor do they know how to do it. I’ll specify how to do so below. Once the buyer of the listing has claimed & cancelled the transaction he/she will be unable to recover the money back in attempt to scam you.


• Log into your PayPal account
• Click onto My Account on the toolbar located under the PayPal logo
• Click onto Resolution Center
• Click onto ‘Dispute a Transaction’ and continue
• Click onto Item Dispute and continue
• Find the transaction ID you’d like to claim and finish up the claim

Now, it’s time to cancel the claim!

• Click back onto My Account on the toolbar located under the PayPal logo
• Click onto Resolution Center
• Find the transaction you’ve placed a claim on and click ‘View’
• Scroll down and click onto Cancel Complaint
• Checkmark the small box, and click onto Cancel this Claim

And you’re done! Simple, wasn’t it? Now once the buyer has completed this he can no longer recover the money back!

This is what's written in the guide.


Let's say I'm selling an account for $5 with Paypal.

Is that how it works? :

The guy send me $5 to my Paypal account.
Then he claims that he didn't receive the stuff/service.
Then he cancels the thing.
Then the guide says the guy won't be able to get his money back to scam me. And then I should give the account.
But how can I be sure he really did a claim and cancel?
Do I need to ask him for a picture as a proof or something?


Thanks for all explanations.

 

You will be sent an e-mail on your e-mail assigned to your paypal account. He is still able to take his money back by calling his credit card company and saying that someone stole it.

If he's not Credit Card funded but bank funded? Can he still get the money back?

So as soon as you receive the email it means the claim and cancel process is done?


And when someone says they are bank funded and not credit card funded, how do you know it's true?

I dont know if this helps but when i got scammed, the guy claimed and canceled, then 2 weeks later sent in an unorthorised transaction and won it...

Yes, it's just much more difficult. You have to open claims etc. and if the buyer is very untrusted and has little protection, then you will be fine.

what if you send the money to your house (request check) is it to late for them to scam back cause its already being processed?

even he claim and cancel, still can charge back money.. just use other payment

even he claim and cancel, still can charge back money.. just use other payment

Thats why I dont do trades over 10 Dollars in paypal

Paypal is very unsecure and claim and cancel doesnt secure your money either way. Peaople can still and almost always do use the unauthorized tansaction claim, or call paypal and tell them YOU TOLD THEM to claim and cancel at which point your account gets fucked and they get their money back. AAVOID PAYPAL AT ALL COSTS.

Also for the guy who asked, even if you get your money off paypal before they claim it back,paypal will simply give you a negative balance and charge you for it.
