So, Paypal tells you that you are protected when you buy an item ? You’d be a fool to believe them. Say you buy an item from ebay and pay via paypal, if the item you bought does not turn up, what can you do ? You complain via paypal, they give 10 days for the seller to respond to the complaint. Say you’re right and the seller should pay you, paypal will try to take money from the seller. The problem occurs when the seller has no money in his paypal account anymore. Clever trick ? Well that’ what happen everyday on paypal !
This is my story, I want it to be published entirely and I wish the names on this email to be published too.
I bought a few records from a guy called Drunk Muziq in 2004 via ebay for 250$. Paid via paypal. I received a package with half of the goods only. I Contacted the seller which never ever replied to my emails. I then decided to place a complain through paypal. Now watch the catch ! they ask you a few details about if the item arrived , or arrived but damaged, or arrived but not as described. Obviously I selected ‘not as described’. Next screen, it says in big: CASE CLOSED. Ah ah! , they protection policy does not work when an item arrived but not complete. I complained for 5 months, nobody replied to me and I lost my money.
This year, paypal added to the insult.
Same guy, started trading again under the name Drunk Music on ebay. I bought 200$ of records from him thinking this time they would be protection. The guy did not send the record and I complained via paypal again, stating I did not receive the goods. Now paypal accepted my complaint. Then they returned to me saying they could not recover the money because the account of the seller is empty! Of course it is empty! What do you think the seller is? Dumb ? I guess when you’re conning people you don’t hang around too long.
Now believe me paypal just like ebay is here to defend sellers, obviously it’s them who keep the business going. Buyer can just fuck off and be defrauded.
Now to finish this email i would like to publish the name and address of this seller who defrauded me twice.
His name is JEFF OVERTON, he is a famous music trader that loves to steal money. His address is:
14211 Lambeth way Tuston CA 92780 USA
There is also a phone number 714 2738714
Another of his fake addresses states: Drunk Music 4820 S Washington Elk city, OK 73644 United States
He uses many different email addresses including : drunkmusic@mac.com
What is Paypal other than a scam?! They don’t do justice for anybody that uses their service. They say there is seller protection, MY ASS. Like you said Paypal just adds insult to injury…One way to do it is to call out the theives that know how to use Paypal to their advantage so that no one else gets taken by them but somehow we gotta sock it to Paypal where it hurts!
