Hi i recently bought 2 village gold class vouchers for $60. I later found out they were fraudelant becuase the seller got them from the electricitiy company as a gift as was not aloud to sell or exchange them. When i asked buyer for my money back he said he would ,then threatened if i used the vouchers he would call the police. What a nasty person. Anyway i still have all emails from this person. I rang ebay and paypal AND REPORTED HIM. Paypal were trying to say because it was an on-line voucher ra ra. I kept saying , i want my $60 dollars back. I kept the heat up and then said in Australia fraud and threatening people is an offence and i will go to the ombudsman if paypal could not get my money back. In the end they could not get money back from the buyer but paypal refunded my $60. I contacted the buyer and told him seeing as you have my money ,you no longer own your vouchers they are now mine to keep. I am reported him to ebay as he threatened me with police. These people know your address and we as sellers or buyers need safety. I want him banished from ebay as he broke the ebay rules. There are alot of fraudelant activities going on and we have to keep on top of it. I also told them both i would cancel my accounts and go elsewhere. I hope that helps in some way.

It would appear that if you make enough of a fuss paypal will give you a refund to shut you up....nice one paypal!!!

Give money to members who are not eligible for a refund but hold seller's money for no reason.

Franny, just so you know. gift cards, tickets and vouchers are not covered by paypal at all.
