    Default Can Paypal Legally Collect?

    Sometime back I had an item on ebay sell for around $85 and it went to paypal, after repeated shipping problems where the item kept coming back as return to sender, the buyer filed a dispute with paypal and paypal I thought wrongfully refunded the money back to this guy, even though I still had the item which came back to me after 2 repeated attempts to send but address was wrong or non existant, Paypal blocked all access to the account, whats funny is the account CANT RECIEVE MONEY, which I have tried to bring the negative up by sending money to it from another account I opened, but apparently this account is so shut out that you cant do nothing with it, now if theirs no way to put the account into the positive, how exactly do they collect? I have had I.C. Systems call me and just flat out ask me, how do I plan on resolving this........... I tell them when they get up off of their ass then I can proceed.

    Quite frankly I am just to the point where I am not even going to pay nothing.

Such notice shall be considered to be received by you within 24 hours of the time it is posted to our website or emailed to you unless we receive notice that the email was not delivered.

    1.9 Calls to You. By providing PayPal a telephone number (including a wireless/cellular telephone), you consent to receiving autodialed and prerecorded message calls from PayPal at that number.


    2. Eligibility and Types of Accounts.

    2.1 Eligibility. To be eligible for our Services, you must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the United States or one of the countries listed on the page. This Agreement applies only to Users who are residents of the United States. If you are a resident of another country, you may access your agreement from our website in your country (if applicable).

PayPal may obtain your credit report: (a) when you open (or upgrade to) a Premier or Business Account, or (b) any time thereafter if PayPal reasonably believes there may be an increased level of risk associated with your Account. An increased level of risk includes, but is not limited to, a high number of chargebacks or reversals, or suspicious activity associated with your Account.


    3. Sending Money.

    3.1 Sending Limits. We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount of money you can send through our Service. You can view your sending limit, if any, by logging into your Account and clicking on the View Limits link on the Account Overview page. If you have a Verified Account, we may increase your sending limits.
    3.2 Default Payment Methods. When you make a payment, PayPal will fund your transaction in this order:
    1. Balance
    2. Instant Transfer from your bank account
    3. PayPal Credit
    4. Debit card
    5. Credit card
    6. eCheck
    Note: We always use your Balance first. If you don't want to use your Balance, you can withdraw it before making a payment.
    3.3 Preferred Payment Method. If you would like to select a Preferred Payment Method you may do so in these instances:
    1. Each time you make a payment. Each time you make a payment, you may select a Preferred Payment Method. You may do so on the “Review Your Payment” page by clicking on the link to change your payment method and selecting from the available payment options.
    2. In your Account Profile – Recurring Payments. If you have set up a Recurring or Automatic Payment, or authorized a merchant to charge your PayPal Account, you may select a Preferred Payment Method for all future payments to the merchant. You may do so by logging in to your Account, selecting “Profile”, selecting “Recurring Payments” or “Pay List”, and then by selecting the links to set a Preferred Payment Method (may be called “Backup Payment Method”).
    3. In your Account Profile – PayPal Credit. If you have a PayPal Credit product, you may select it as your Preferred Payment Source for all future payments that you make through PayPal. You may do so by logging in to your Account, selecting “Profile”, selecting your PayPal Credit product, and then by selecting the links to set it as a Preferred Payment Source.
    4. Limitations. If you have a Balance in your PayPal Account, PayPal will use your Balance instead of your Preferred Payment Method, unless your Preferred Payment Method is PayPal Credit or eCheck.
    5. Quick Pay. If you select “Quick Pay” for your PayPal Mobile payments, you will not be able to select a Preferred Payment Method for your future PayPal Mobile payments made with Quick Pay. You may cancel your “Quick Pay” setting at any time from your mobile phone.

    Once, I sold something on Ebay. Shortly after, I closed that Paypal account, since I had switched banks. Come to find out, the original buyer on Ebay used a stolen CC, and Paypal sent me an invoice a year later.

    I refused to pay the invoice, since it wasn't my fault that the buyer used a stolen CC, and that it was over a year ago. Nothing came of it, and Paypal stopped sending me letters after I called them, and informed them that I wasn't going to pay them a dime.

    I think that these collection letters are just a scare tactic, as nothing was done against my credit, and I stopped hearing from them after I called them.

    I think it really depends how you handle the situation. When I have had any problems, like the one mentioned above, I always hold my ground. If I have to I get an agent to chat with me online and if need be, I will call. This is my hard earned money we are talking about, so no one is going to play with it. I realized that a lot of eBay Newbies have no clue as to what they are doing or even IF they are doing something wrong.

    In my experiences with Paypal, even in the worse case scenario, the problem has always been resolved satisfactorily.
