Paypal money being "held"

[RockNRoll08]

okay so i sold my account to someone for 2 payments of $300 and 5 minutes after i accepted the payments it got "held" now its been 7 days and i havnt recieved the money and the kid never replied my messages, his sythe username is rc-her

so what does it mean when it's being held?

does it mean he reversed the transaction or what??

It probably means the transaction can't go through right. Either because of his payment, so just wait a little bit and if it's still in this situation contact paypal.

From what i understand, money is held by paypal for a peroid when chargebacks occur, before put into the buyers account. He may have chargebacked the money, in which case your stuffed :|

But wait and see, I could be wrong - maybe the situation will correct itself.

Click on "Details" and it will tell you if the buyer has filed a complaint(through Paypal), or called his credit card company to file a chargeback. If he filed a complaint through Paypal, you have to go through the process. If he filed a chargeback, you can't do much of anything.

Do you know the ways to prevent this? Like the Claim and Cancel, you should of made him do that.

This kid, he payed you with the money.

When he was done, he pretty much tried to "rip you off", and he is charging it back.

It means he is telling paypal or is creditcard company either you didn't give the goods to him or it wasn't him that made the payment.

You can dispute it with paypal and prove that you did, but it is doubtful you will win.

Start reporting him on Sythe, and recover your runescape accounts before it is to late.
