I bought something on Ebay Non LR, it turned out to be stolen and had it siezed, Police came and collected it, I did witness statement stating it was bought on Ebay provided Paypal with the crime number and they sided on the side of the seller !!!!

Money gone - Goods gone !!

I have received a lot of emails from dodgy accounts pretending to be paypal.

I have the added security with PayPal where a code is sent to my mobile to complete any transaction. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

How can you set this up? Can you do it form the Paypal website?

Ibexman,
I hope you get refunded.
May I ask if the money went to a known contact/seller or to a random unknown?

Good luck with refund. I’ve always had good experience from getting issues sorted with PayPal. They do things at their own speed, but it’s got sorted in the end.

I don't use paypal.

If you take time to read the small print and where they share your information, it's over 75 countries around the world with varying laws on data privacy, careful what you [X] agree to
