Hello; I wanted to let everyone know about a person who is committing deliberate fraud via paypal. He purchased two items from us, one one day and a second the next. Two weeks later he disputed the first purchase via Paypal. Paypal reversed the payment and I provided proof of his request to purchase the meteorite, and his receipt of the package so after almost 3 months they released my funds back to me. Then, just as the 90 days cutoff for a credit card transaction was almost up he disputed the second transaction but this time via his credit card he used to pay through paypal, and again Paypal reversed our payment. I again provided the same irrefutable proof of his asking to purchase and his receiving the meteorite but Paypal refused to return my funds claiming that even though they had my money still the fraudulent buyer's credit card company said he was the one defrauded and they were returning my funds back to the fraudulent buyer. So ample proof of his purchase made absolutely no difference nor the fact he had already tried once to commit fraud. . No amount of trying to get Paypal to return my funds worked - in fact they informed me that as of Jan 1 2025 they would not be doing anything to help sellers in this kind of situation. I was even told to get an attorney to represent me against Paypal and they would understand why I would do that. We have stopped accepting paypal for this reason. Here is the info on the fraudulent buyer: Name:Xun Wei G/F NO1-2A MAN SHANG STREET, New Territories 999077 Hong Kong ph 52025843 panatike at yahoo.com Through the course of emails he also used this email - skbmmzp at hotmail.com He was also trying to buy another meteorite supposedly for his friend at this email - fembvtkp at hotmail.com which didn't work so he gave me this one for his "friend" arspxgt at hotmail.com. Initially he responded to my request to explain why he was disputing items he obviously received and he said he would let Paypal know but he never did. I don't know if there is any way to go after someone in another county or if there is any way to take funds other than a wire transfer that is secure and safe from this kind of theft. If anyone knows, please let me know! Thank you! I hope he doesn't do this to anyone else!
