If you get charged back on paypal for virtual goods te buyer win almost all the time.
This is because there is no way for you to prove that he got the goods.

For this reason almost no big sellers accept paypal unless the buyer is very trusted.
Now you have learned and now you can be more careful next time.

Sorry but there is not much you can do :( you could try showing paypal screenshots of your conversation but I doubt it'd do much.

Sorry for your loss

I guess this would explain why PayPal simply isn't safe to use for gold-selling. Although I'm not sure what you can do about this now, but I obviously recommend using a different system; Player Auctions perhaps? I've only heard of them, I dunno anything about them…

If you want some super helpful suggestions be sure to ask YoHoJo, he's probably the best resource for knowledge for things like this.

Sadly this is the kinda situation where you gotta pay for your mistakes. Just learn and be more careful next time. Google is your best friend.

If you haven't disputed yet, you can say it was for physical items and you mailed them out already.

Virtual items = the guy who sent the Paypal money will always get it back.

Buy 300m from someone else and then demand a refund because "you didnt get the goods."

Man thats low.

On topic I would suggest you move on. Sorry for your loss and I hope you rebuild quickly.

You should have taken pictures of every transactions.
One where he indicates the rsn name, and in game pics of giving gold.

Then when he says something like that, about how he didnt receive it, you have proof that he in fact did, and get him banned in the process for trying to scam.

Sadly like everyone else has said, without any proof, there is nothing that can be done.

I once sold a RS account to Gold4Fun and got the money through paypal. After a while they tried to get the money back saying that I would have been on there live chat saying: "HAHA you got scammed!" and stuff like that.. which I didn't so I told them through the paypal thing. They didn't get the money back.

1): Its possible to win
2): Do not trust Gold4Fun ;) (although that has nothing to do with this)

If you transfer all the $ in the paypal balance to another paypal account, what will happen when the buyer charge back? I'm assuming you will get a negative balance but the buyer wont get back the $ too?

You get negative balance, buyer gets the money back. If you don't plan to use the account again, paypal gets screwed.

this, sounds like a profitable idea, until paypal catches you.

It's like Taken except with RSGP! Are you Liam Neeson?

On topic, that really sucks OP, but do whatever you can to fight it. Or don't RWT ;)

What if you would film the transaction and gave the file to PayPal?
Wouldn't that count as evidence?

Same thing happened to me with 1.2b, still haven't heard back from paypal yet, but I'm guessing that I won't get my st00f back.

haha this post cracked me up.

this reminded me of when i got hacked by a certain script on rsbots.net and then their site shutdown so i thought i'd have a crack at trying to claim a refund for my auth codes, but i lost.
