What do you do when your scammer lies to PayPal when filing a dispute

Hi Felix: It doesn’t matter what the scammer tells PayPal when you file a dispute, Paypal will deny everything and will always win the dispute. State the truth and you should win the case in general as long as you have all the proof and really shipped the item to the correct address in the buyer side.

Can you get money back from PayPal if you get scammed?

You can also get refunded for unauthorized transactions made using your PayPal account as long as you report it within 180 days of the payment date. But if you sent money to a fraudster as part of a phishing scam or via PayPal’s peer-to-peer payments system—you’re likely out of luck.

How does PayPal decide who wins a dispute?

The main reason why crafty buyers will make a PayPal dispute is because they want to get their money back and still keep the item. PayPal will investigate and if there is proof that the items were received or the buyer made the purchase, then the seller will be on the winning side when the claims come knocking.

What happens if you lose a PayPal dispute as a buyer?
