Johor Bahru, Malaysia - DO NOT POST

[zodiac_woman]

A team of professional thieves are one again working out the Telstra building in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.  They are purchasing from Australian eBay stores using stolen credit cards.

Heads up Sellers.  This gang have shop-lifted from a number of us over the years. They took me for $400. They will always have very low feedback scores, their shipping address will be in Johor Bahur, they will always purchase expensive items and they will always make immediate Paypal payment attached to a credit card.

The first you will hear about a problem is usually 7 - 10 days later when you receive an email from eBay stating "Do Not Post'.

You will not have a leg to stand on when Paypal removes the money from your account.  Registered proof of delivery will not even help you. Johor Bahru - remember it, and do not post.

Doesn't the seller protection that paypal have cover chargebacks?? Do the banks??

Is it possable to set a paypal account up to deny credit card payments?

To wait around for a year in the hope that no one does a chargeback is a joke. I also thought that the banks had some form of protection but I guess not, they initiate the chargeback after so long on a stolen (or whatever) card.

Some overseas sites used to be able to set what sort of paypal funding they would accept, but not on the Australian site.

I am not sure whether it is still the case...it is many years since I came across it.

I am not sure what you mean about banks having some form of protection....a chargeback is the bank protecting their customer (the owner of the credit card).
