Hi,
Coupe of months ago I sold digital currency and the other party sent their wallet address via their paypal address.I transferred the currency and then the other party brought more the same way and so on.
Apx couple months later I went into my paypal account and the total amount of all these transactions had been frozen. Cases opened against me on the grounds that it had been paid for via an unautherised credit card.
I called Paypal and they said as long as I could prove I sent the currency I would be ok. I also said about the information being sent via the paypal account and the person said it was easy to open a paypal account with a stolen credit card. I scanned my digital wallet showing the coin was sent to the address given via paypal.
Paypal also said that if the credit card company found against me, paypal would fight the cases for me.
A day later the cases are closed, cases against me. I called paypal and they then told me that it was up to the credit card company to decide and paypal took no part.
On top of losing the digital currency, the cash paid for it, paypal has charged me a fee on each case as a last spit in the face.
Seems my only path is to stop using paypal when selling since it is unsafe and warn as many people willing to listen. Ebay via paypal is not as safe as I was led to believe.
P.S posted a similar post a few minutes ago and could not find it. If a double up, apologies.
