Sold a fishing reel on Ebay
Buyer from America
Payment received through pay pal
Payment completed through pay pal.
Item sent
Buyer received the reel very pleased thank you etc positive feed back left.
14 days later buyer reverses payment.

Me as the seller does not have a leg to stand on.

Beware of Pay Pal.

My loss is in the region of £70 could have been worse some sellers have been stung for several thousand.

Buyer pays through pay pal using a credit card then complains to the credit card company gets a full refund Pay Pal then refund the credit card conpany.

Poor seller ends up with no money for sold item.

Beware........
