Right, going back a couple of months or more I sold my camcorder to some guy. Didnt think nothing off it as he had good feedback ect ect.
Payed me over paypal all legit, cam got sent.
Total 210 pounds. Sorted.
Few weeks later I get an email stateing it was fraud blah D blah and that the the persons credit card which got used 'might' do a chargeback.
I didnt hear nothing after the email for a good few weeks.
Then I had an email to re-instate my paypal balance as it was 210 pounds under.
Email after Email after email I kept telling them that I had lost the cam, I was a target of fraud. And there is just no way I could pay the 210 back as I sold the cam in the first place to pay my bills.
Now, yesterday I had a debt letter come in from a debt collecting company asking for the money within 7 working days.
Since this has happened I have Moved. My dad is a posty so he brought the letter home (as it was re-directed to this address)
So, do I simply ignore the letter as paypal doesnt have my new address or what?
Dont know what to do. Advice?

I would say contact the fraud department of the bank that you use for paypal.

I had money taken out of my paypal account before, and contacted the bank, got put through to the fraud department, and they put the money back within a week. (not the same situation ya yourself)

You will have to print out all corrospondance with the buyer (email, paypal etc) also it will help if you have proof of postage of the idtem.

They try and make it sound like it's secure, but it's a hell of a lot less secure than a lot of other methods, from what I've seen.

Sadly ebay rather forces it on us; more money in their pockets Rolling Eyes

Did you send the item to the buyers verified paypal address? If so, you need to report the guy for fraud to EBay and the police. If you sent it somewhere else, you've probably lost your money.

Is the transaction covered under PayPal's seller protection policy?

Ignore it baby.

You have sent the camera, I definately do not want you to loose £210.

Dont worry about it.

Likely if she ignores it she will get a bad credit history and maybe a CCJ against her. Probably best not to ignore it.

All that Paypal crap 'seller protection' just confuses me to hell.
I have an NCO Group card here (was re-directed). Got it today, willbe comming tuesday. Looks on the net and Im guessing its balifs.
WTF Do I do?
Paypal wont answer Emails by that time.
Im Stuffed!

I have wrked in debt recovery for 2 years...its not balifis.

It is a feild collection agent, they will want to come in and make a list of your posentions t make sure that they can take what you can't afford to repay.

you do NOT have to let them. if you say they are not getting in there is nothing thy can do. they are powerless.

Contact the recovery agency and explaine to them that you have just recived the details as you have moved so hence not been touch.

advise that you are in direct dispute with paypal regarding this amount. the company should then hold the account, at least for a few weeks. Thumbs Up

Who is the company, if I have worked for them then I'm in a better place to advise.

Right ive been on www.paypalsuck.com and sevral people are in the same place as me.
Mr P Brown will call round next tuesday between 9am-9pm to collect the money, This person dose not exsist.
Next letter is from a Mr P Green (lol) with the same letter but offering 75% off the debt.
After a few months they go away.
Ive been told NCO are paid on commision so they send threating letters to people involved, they are not baliffs or anything like that.
Im not worrying so much now if tons more people are getting these.
