I see why it wouldn't necessarily be wise for him to tell them to rule in my favor and I completely understand ANY reluctance in doing so. I would feel the same way.
I JUST got off the phone with a guy with Paypal and I asked him, "If ya'll were to rule in my favor, with the exception of taking the $408 out of his account, would it negatively affect his paypal account in any way?
That statement there is ********.
He has already taken the money out of his paypal account.
you filed a dispute which, if paypal rules in your favor, that will put his paypal account in the negative. At which time he is responsible to bring his paypal account out of the negative standing.
Paypal will try to pull funds from his bank account. But he can stop that from happening.
Now if he never withdrew the money from his paypal account then that payment will just be placed on hold until the dispute/claim is resolved.
if the claim is ruled in your favor, then you will be refunded 100%
But if he withdrew the money and they still rule in your favor you wont receive anything.
you will get an email stating that they were unable to recover funds from his account.
Paypal forgets to tell you everything and how it really works.
If you would read all of the previous posts, you would see that David did not withdraw the money from his paypal account. He said he was going to use it for future purposes. The $408 IS on hold and it WILL be rewarded to me in the even that they rule in my favor so there's no issue about whether or not paypal will be able to recover the money, it's already been recovered. What I was saying was that regardless of how David gets paid, he WILL be paid if I receive the flip-up in the mail. When I said, "will it negatively affect his paypal account?" I was not saying, "will it put it in the negative?" I was saying, would it put him in bad terms with paypal. And the guy responded "no."
