Paypal owning me after a chargeback

[kmjt]

It seems like they charged me some $10 additional fee, after the amount I got charge backed. Do they always do this? I was aware of the chargeback but accepted it as a loss so never really bothered with the dispute, is ignoring the dispute why they charged me this additional fee?

This is a snippet from the email I got:

After careful consideration of the evidence provided by you and the buyer
in the case referenced above, we have determined that you are liable for
the chargeback amount. The amount of the above-referenced transaction has
been debited from your PayPal account.

PayPal has been charged a fee from the buyer's card issuer, and a result we
have had to assess your PayPal account a chargeback settlement fee of
$10.00 USD.

It's a fee from the buyers credit card company. They purchased from a credit card balance using the credit card attached to their Paypal account.

That's crazy, I wish i could see the scammer.

 

"To cover the cost of processing chargebacks, PayPal charges a €11,25 EUR chargeback settlement fee to sellers who PayPal determine are at fault for credit card payment chargebacks."

When you sign up with paypal, you agree to this.

Since he used a credit card, the credit card company charged paypal a fee, which was passed on to you.

First time I'm seeing a $10 addition. I've had quite a few chargebacks, but none had that extra.

Sorry for your loss man

More than likely a stolen credit card.

Stolen creditcard chargebacks go automatically, so they don't need to do it themselves.

I got charged a $40 fee for a $20 chargeback once. I called paypal and since it was my first one, they reversed the fee. I presume you can call them and ask nicely if they'll reverse it for you also kamjoot

Is this something they've just recently started doing? I've had plenty of chargebacks but I don't recall ever having an additional fee.

 

There are different types of chargebacks. A chargeback in which the buyer contacts the credit card company to reverse the charges is subject to this $10 fee. It's fairly standard.
