So I was robbed
9 years ago
General
Well, appearantly a friend's paypa (
Wordcaster)l was hacked and through his paypal, i was requested to pay back a chunk of money for work i've done for him before. Since according to Paypal I'm not elligible for sellers protection, even though it was on a dispute, I automatically lost the dispute. Even If both me and my friend explained paypal the situation, Paypal still sent the money straight to the person who hacked my friend.
From now on, I will only request money from paypal to avoid this situation again. But for now I'm really, totally screwwed, cuz according to paypal, not only they took all I had, but I also owe them 266 usd and there's NOTHING I can do about it. i have -266 usd balance)
My friend is going to try and help me out by at least sending me the ammount that paypal thinks that I owe them. But the thing is I was not the only one who the thief targeted. The thief took hundreds of usd off other people. So I'm gonna see how is this gonna fare.
So if you can help a wolf, next time you sent me money for lets say donations or commisions, make sure you click "no shipping address needed" that way this situation won't be neccesary. Either this or just give me your paypal and I can request the money instead.
I recomend you do the same for every payment you send to anyone.

Wordcaster sent me the payments as a gift. I didn't even know that it had happened, honestly. Not only did I lose the money, but paypal charged me 20.00 for every single payment that had already been charged back.
I'm still going to be using Paypal for payments though, just not gifting people money for awhile.
