So, here's everything that has went down:
A buyer purchased an item from me back on August 11th. The label was printed directly through ebay and automatically uploaded to paypal. Package was picked up on August 13th for shipment as confirmed by my pickup request confirmation e-mail from USPS. Fast forward all the way to December 10th. Now, the buyer has called his financial institution and filed this as an "Unauthorized transaction". So, of course Paypal hits me with the case. I immediately call up Paypal and everything is fine because I obviously qualify for seller protection. Now, come the middle of January, and the funds are missing out of my account again. So, once again, I call up Paypal. This time however, I am no longer eligible for seller protection because the tracking number is no longer valid. Going on 6 months later, that's really no surprise.. Now, there's basically nothing that I can do according to Paypal unless that tracking number magically becomes valid again. So, I guess what i'm saying is, be careful to everyone out there. There's people that really know what they're doing when it comes to scamming sellers. This wasn't a small ticket item either. I doubt there's any way i'm ever going to be able to pay the money back to Paypal plus their $20 fee for getting scammed. Definitely won't be selling anything on Ebay anymore either because of it. I don't think there's anything I can do at this point, so i've come to warn you all.
