I conceive the suspicion that the user Olucun (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=371056) cheated me of 100 euros from my PayPal funds.

Olucun wanted to exchange my paypal funds into BTC, we PMed at bitcointalk before. After I paid him, he told me via Skype (Username: didivf7) that my money is hold back for 24h to check if my funds are legal. That was the last time I heard from him, since three days I'm trying to send him messages via Skype, although he's obviously online, he doesn't respond anymore. I also noted that he changed his name at skype in the meantime. Very suspicious. He also doesn't respond to my PMs.

If this was a normal PayPal transaction then file a dispute with them about not receiving the goods. If you funded the transaction by using a credit card ( never have your bank account linked to PayPal) then file also with the CC company which you may want to wait till you get your statement. The minute you do this the PayPal dispute will be put on hold and they will address the charge back.

The first thing with PayPal of filing the dispute the "seller" will need to send a response back to PayPal. You can send PayPal screen shots of your PM's. If the seller does not respond you will get your funds back.

PayPal is very good for the buyer and very risky for the seller anymore. When I sell something on EBay anymore I am very careful on the buyer to make sure they have a lots of good feedback for cancel the sell.

Good luck

It was a normal transaction, but I thought that Paypal refuses a refund if it was a virtual good, am I wrong? I filed a dispute, it's worth a try for sure. Let's see. Olucun is still posting on this board in the meantime... Roll Eyes

How do you fund your PayPal account? If you do fund your account with a credit card your still fine and can file a charge back against him. I will be interested in seeing if he replies back yo PayPal about this dispute. Send PayPal screen shots of the PM's showing that he was to send you something. Then how he wanted to wait and then how you wrote asking him when he would send you the item you paid for but got no response. If he does not prove that he sent it then you should be in good shape.
