Just checking in, guys. I also received the email from PayPal saying that they decided in my favor but were unable to recover any funds.
I made sure to pay with my CC as a precaution. Is talking to them about doing a chargeback the way to go now? I remember reading that doing so prematurely can result in PayPal getting pissed and mucking with your account...but I also read that if you let them conduct their investigation before taking action with your CC company you are staying with PayPal's guidelines and they really can't do anything to your account. I have always used one PayPal account and have a lot of transactions under my belt...I'd prefer not to have to start over with a new one but if it's that or getting my $150 back then there's no question -- I'm getting my money one way or another.
I thought I'd ask for your advice before proceeding. Is it safe to do the chargeback now or will my PP account be screwed either way?
BTW, I don't have all of Todd's info. If someone could send it to me I'd greatly appreciate it. I need this in order to file a complaint with the IC3, and someone needs to call his local police if we haven't done so already...
Pumbertot, did I send you my info already for your IC3 report?
yes go ahead and do it, worse case you need to create another paypal account, no big deal. serves them right for no REAL protection policy. also CC company will want it in writiing(well UK ones do) already sent the letter off last week so just waiting now for my money.
yes I got your details and they are on my IC# but you should raise one also, the more complaints made against the same guy (AKA piece of shit) the more likely action will take place and sooner.
