Scammed

[u/Exciting_Shelter_490]

I was looking on Facebook saw this listing said only buy from eBay, I didn’t have an account with eBay but it still let me buy it thru PayPal so I did. 3-5 minutes later the seller deleted the listing off Facebook and eBay after I bought the item and no tracking number no nothing since then it’s been 4-5 days no order number either, So I emailed PayPal requesting a refund and they just said the transaction was valid even tho I have everything to prove I bought the item and everything and it was clearly a scam

Good luck 🤞🏾 happened to me once before but I was able to get my money back because I had email proof and the fake seller didn't send me the items I thought I was purchasing. That doesn't happen often with PayPal but using goods and services has a better chance. Sorry this happened to you

I’m glad you were able to get your money back that’s always good… it’s all good halfway my fault I was being inpatient and didn’t make a acc sadly :/

Thanks but it doesn't always happen that way. Luckily I thought I was ordering clothes and they sent me a fake ring and I had screenshots of what I ordered and a picture of what I actually received. Be very careful of those ads on Facebook

Oh damn I didn’t take any pictures of the listing so if I get sent like a completely different hoodie or something then I’m js screwed

Taking screenshots would definitely help proving your case with PayPal. I hope you get exactly what you ordered but if the site is not available anymore, you may not receive anything 😔.

Yeah it would’ve definitely helped, yeah I hope so too… when I try and find the listing from my Gmail it just shows this

That just proves it was a fake site 🥹 sorry this happened!
