Paypal issues

Hey, today I bought an account for $40, I sent the money in 2 serpate lots over paypal as a gift, the guy recovered the account I was wondering is there any way I can get my money back, I'm super fucking pissed off and I would really like some help, if you do manage to help I'll gladly reward you.
Thanks...

 

Click on where you sent the money to him, should be able to click the "details" button on your sending/receiving orders, and then scroll down until you see "Click Here" to resolve a transaction problem, and tell Paypal what occurred and you should receive your money back.

 

Look for the amount you sent on the "Activity List" on your homepage. Beside the amount you've sent to the guy, you'll see "Details". Scroll down on that page and click "Click here to resolve a transaction problem" and explain PayPal your issue.

Goodluck charging back your money.

 

If you got that part working, I suggest you take pictures of the chat logs, or anything you used to communicate. It will give you more chance of winning that way.

 

Thanks for all the feed back BUT i sent it as a gift and it says i cant dispute it because it was wasn't a "goods" or "service" and it was an authorized payment, what do i do then?

 

Claim it was an unauthorized transaction. It's the only way, unless you'd like to ring them up.

 

Alright, but when I claim it as an unauthorized transaction what do I say in the box? anything or just let it be, because they said they will investiage and if they look at logins they're all from me :/

 

You could explain the trade, or possibly just leave it blank. I've got no idea, sorry.

 

Hmm I might try explain on one and leave the other one blank, I'll see how it goes, thanks heaps and if it works I'll send you a reward

 

Unfortunatly no matter what you do Im sure your acccount will end up being locked... sorry bro. Then you have no money for atleast 6 months.

 

what will get locked an why?

 

^ He means your paypal will be limited...

I don't think you have a chance to get your money back, since it's illegal to buy runescape accounts... IDK tho.

 

Don't listen to him... Your account won't get limited for 1 dispute.

 

If you claim an unauthorised transaction it will only be because someone else paid for the item, usually someone who has hacked into your paypal account.

The true and only way to get your money back is by ringing paypal up.
You may have a small chance if you make a white lie otherwise.

 

I've got the same issue, BUT I paid through my DC/CC option, so I can just go to the bank and have them cancel the payment!
It's the best way to trade unless you're trading with a highly trusted member.

 

Well I've learnt this for the future, doubt I'll get money back and I think they guy might be working on giving me my account back.

Thanks all for the advice.

 

Paypal will lock your account for NOTHING if there is enouigh $ in it.

 

I wouldn't claim an unauthorized transaction if your PayPal is not verified also if it has a decent amount of $ in it then PayPal have no problem in limiting it.

 

Shit :/ whats the limit?

 

The best thing to do is to call them up and tell them in person. Always like cosrob said make sure you have AS MUCH evidence as you can get.
