""Unauthorized transaction" on paypal without even having chance to respond ?

**Shadhun** · 04-14-2008

Hello there.

Some time ago i was selling my char. I got contacted by some person and he wanted to pay for char in advance. I said fine, he sent me some ammount of money. After a while he decided to withdraw it with "unauthorized transaction" metod. It's ok i was aware of that , that is not another "omg i got scammed thread" i got my account back eventually.

Ok so at this point i had 7 days to repsond in this case, but after like 10 min case was closed and he get his money back even without waiting to my response.

How that was possible ? Is this normal procedure for unauthorized transaction ? Or he had to make something to get his money so ultra-fast ? Maybe that have something to do with country i live in ? i heard some bullshit about lack of seller protection here or something like that.

Sorry for my english and hope for your help.

Doesnt matter with unauth transaction they win all the time anyway. its only possible to win against item not delivered.

Yeah i know that mate. I would still like to know how come that it was so fast.

Maybe i could try to get my money back cause paypal made some error in procedure ? It was clearly writen that i have 7 days to respond in that case :confused:

Maybe they automatically saw that the IP's were different in which were logged into the account for example:

a is the orignal IP used
b is the used with a proxy program like Tor

A sends you payment with 'A' ip
A then activates Tor which is now B
B then logs into paypal with the different IP
Paypal notice this change and automatically side with the buyer

Ok i got an answer so i tought i might post it here, maybe it will be usefull for you my fellow scammers.

So when somebody use 'unauthorised transaction' first thing to do by Paypal is to check if seller had 'seller protection'. For example my country don't have it so all cases will be won by buyers.
