Pay Pal Pal Pal can take your money back ANYTIME THEY WANT San Jose California

I've used Pay Pal and EBAY for years. Never had a problem until now.  I am an occasional EBAY buyer and seller 557 transactions over 15 years. It's spring and house cleaning time.  On the EBAY Homepage they suggerst clean your home, get rid of the unwantede and make some money.  So I began. In my kitchen I had two Foodsavers New still in the box. Never used. Gifts people had given me. I'm single, don't buy a lot of food and have no need for the machines.  Listed them on EBAY.  Both sold. One buyer in Texas left me positive feedback stating "Brand New Item received fast and works perfect." She paid using Pay Pal. 

NOW months later Pay Pal advised me she had filed a claim and took the money back.  The lady stated she used the machine, it worked perfect,  put it in her cabinet and later went to use it and it would not work. She filed a claim with Pay Pal stating "Item Not As Described."  I don't know what she did to the machine but she did state she received it and it worked fine.  With that said, Pay Pal has determined the item for whatever reason (they won't tell you) was Not As Described. Giving money back to Buyer. EBAY has a user forum it's called the EBAY COMMUNITY FORUM.  I have read many comments there where other sellers are running into the same problem. 

EBAY recently started what they call MONEY BACK GUARANTEE if you're not happy get your money back including shipping.  As one forum member comment statedt "EBAY is streamlining buyer fraud, dishonesty and outright theft.  If someone buys something on EBAY all they have to do is  "Not As Described" automatically gives the seller  a "defect"  in EBAY and Pay Pay gives money back. And although they state they investigate essentially they automatically side with the buyer and give buyer  their money back. Seller has no say. You can appeal but nothing will change. Another EBAY Community User asked the Community if anyone had ever heard of a "Not as described case being won by a seller" no one had.

If the item should somehow get returned to you it probably won't be the same condition and in many cases not the same item. If the buyer gives EBAY/Pal Pal a tracking number stating she returned the item thats the END. Regardless as to whether or not you get what you shipped, and regardless of what's inside the box. One EBAY Community Member said he got an "empty box." Can't contest, appeal, nothing. The problem is getting worse daily. If you go to Google and type in "How to get it free on EBAY" there are articles telling people how to do exactly what has happened to me and many other EBAY sellers. One person has a U-Tube video showing people how to do it.  Get it free on EBAY and Amazon.
