Okay...
Say you get an offer for a domain...not an outrageous offer, a reasonable offer. So you sell it.... you then get TOO MUCH money for the domain PayPal'd to you.
Shortly thereafter, you get a note from the Buyer stating he accidentally paid you is Euros rather than US Dollars or GBP instead of USD and would like the money refunded.
NOT THE DIFFERENCE, the whole amount.
After which, he will send BACK the correct amount.
With cash/checks and such... this is the old scam we've always hear about... buying Car for too much, send back the difference, blah, blah, blah...
But with PayPal, how can this work? I can't see it being a Scam, especially having refunded the full amount... but CAN it be?
PayPal can charge back purchases after the fact... so is it possible for a charge to be returned even though you have sent the buyer money?
NOT as a Refund, but you sending him money.
Okay... let me say this another way...
He sends you money, you accept. Then he says please return... so you PAY him the same amount to zero the balance. NOW, paypal sees to PAYMENTS, not a charge/refund. He contests the original buy and you get charged back. He got your payment and his back.
Something like that...
Anyway, just wondering.... cause I returned the money by simply rejecting the original payment (I never took posession of it) and now I've not heard back from they buyer at all.
