I sold a fortnite account for 300 euro a few days ago and got the money through PayPal.
The whole thing went through friends and family, but strangely the buyer managed to withdraw the money by opening a conflict with it, which is why I then had -36.89 euro because I had bought something with it.
I asked him about it and he then said why he did it (didn't make any sense), but he said he calls Paypal and tells them to temporarily or completely close the conflict.
Today I got the money back (the 300 euro)
Now I have a little problem, and I'm worried that he will open another conflict with it, which is theoretically not possible because you can only open one case per purchase / trade. Does that count for friends and family? You can't open a case twice and say something.
I wanted to buy something with my earned money through this expensive 300 euro account and now I'm worried that the person will open a case again and I will be stupid with - 300 euro.
What do you think, do I have to worry or not?
1.) You are a minor and may NOT use Paypal at all!
Paypal is not a breeze, it's a bank!
The use of PayPal is generally only allowed from the age of 18 - without exception!
Did you cheat an illegal account with a fake date of birth and do illegal business? This is:
Data falsification,
Terms and conditions violation
Breach of contract
Expect to be banned - forever!
2.) What account? Is the sale allowed at all?
With most accounts it is strictly forbidden to sell them.
An illegal sale would be another reason that the money would be withdrawn and then blocked - forever.
If you use PayPal you always have to worry.
F&F is not safe either.
To your first question:
I'm not a minor, I have been an adult for a long time.
It is a Fortnite account and according to the terms and conditions it is forbidden to sell them and you can count on an account ban in fortnite.
With Paypal there would also be no reason why he now sent 300 euro to my account because everything went / runs like I said about friends and family. Therefore I see no reason to block my account and even if it interests Paypal 0 since the Epic Games job is.
But that wasn't my question at all, I already knew that.
* Not to mention fraud directly against PayPal.
Yes but usually it is not safe for buyers to pay through friends and family, but somehow I'm worried that he will somehow open a case where he can do it right because he had already created one and canceled or done it himself.
Natural wonder?
Aged 4 years within a few days?
Last week you were 14 years old!
Oh and thanks for the sensible answer, others think I'm reading the code here.
We don't just mean it is just a fact.
you defraud PayPal by using their service.
That was definitely a question from a younger "friend" 😁
Liars and fraudsters get what they deserve…
Nowhere did I say that it was not fair trade, the buyer has already changed the account and the data. I'm more worried 🤷♂️
External access is always possible.
The money was withdrawn 4 months later… Because of external access. Another PP account hops and the annoying collection wave.
Pull the money down into your bank account. The PP account is not worth 300 euro.
Very simple: you cheated Paypal for money.
Well, when paying with buyer protection or with goods and services, I have no security myself because the buyer can say at any time that he can't get any data. I had already gained experience with this.
Anyone who wants to cheat you can do so either way if you offer Paypal. The bottom line would be no PayPal if you don't want to take the risk.
What was the reason why he wanted the money back?
