Call them, explain and show proof. If nothing else f'k that account and open another under a family members/spouse/child name. You can't use the same accounts though.

Helps that I have to move every few years, haven't heard anything. But you did get scammed. Just as bad as the nigerian, I'll give you 500 more than you were asking to end and ship to a son/daughter/brother/niece..etc, and I'll send you a bad Money order or bank check

same thing happened to me.

paypal linked my account, only after I recieved an excessive amount of $$$, to an old account with a negative balance. I had to bring the other balance to zero or wait 180 days to get access to my cash, all while they make interest off my money.

Paid it, and know i use Autosweep.

x2, paypal does not report to any credit agencies.

collections companies do.

I paid my car insurance online through paypal, and instead of my 1 month payment, it went through in excess of a thousand bucks. I didn't have that available on my debit card (paypal method of payment), so I got a returned item fee. Then they tried my backup source, a credit card. That put the card over the limit, so I got a fee.

Other fees hit from items that had already been purchased. Then the charge was refused, the addtional charges and fees disappeared and were replaced by a single over limit fee.

My paypal account landed in the negative by over a thousand bucks.

I called, they said it's okay for it to be under.

The insurance company mailed me a refund check (for the amount minus my month's payment)

Then a bill.

For the amount they just mailed me a check for - due in ten days.

What the fsck.

The bank (Chase) helped me out with the fees, and paypal allowed the account to be under for a few days.

Not sure what would've happened otherwise!

I called the insurance company, and they pushed back the due date, and reverted the account to 'monthly.'

So two months insurance are due next month. (sigh)

They wont accept E-mails. Becasue you can alter and make them say what you want them too. I have already been on the phone with paypal and asked them if I could send them some E-mails that me and this guy has sent each other and they told me that. Pretty much your are ****ed. Even a traking number wont do shit. Paypal will say its not a confirmed address , and all that it shows is that you sent a pakage to theat address you have no proof that the E-bay seller told you to do that. Open anouther Ebay account and scam him //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif j/k

Auto sweep helps as well.

Call paypal and ask them to enable auto sweep. That feature, not advertised of course, automatically withdrawals paypal money into your bank account every night. I didnt actually know of that feature until a few weeks ago, but its pretty good.

So if a seller says something to the effect that hey they ripped me off but you already moved the $$ from pay pal to your bank acct, your fine?

They will just make your PP acct negative and not take it directly from your bank acct?

they can try and reverse it, gotta withdrawal the money out of the bank account as fast as possible

Pretty much, paypal cannot take money directly from you bank account or CC. Cause you would be able to say you did not authorize it and get it back anyways. It does **** for a real buyer that gets fk'd, but paypal tries to cover some, mainly the seller though since thats how they make their money.

You do not have to withdraw the money from your bank, just transfer from the paypal account.

No one has to have your SSN to turn you over to collections. lol. And no, PayPal won't report to the CRAs, but the CA they turn you over to sure will. And it's not all that hard to get most people's info... do you not think the people who collect debt for a living know the the tricks to get something on your report? Please... the CRAs make it SOOOO **** easy for CAs to screw up your credit, and they make it 1000x harder for you to clear it up. Don't make the mistake of thinking they are actually attempting to protect your credit. lol

CRA = Credit Reporting Agency, aka Equifax, Transunion, Experian

CA = Collection Agency.

These companies can and do use illegal means to try to force you to pay. If you're not aware of the possibilities, OR of your own rights, you'll wind up screwed. I was just warning the OP it was a possibility. It has been mentioned on these very boards.
