re: Well this sucks: PayPal sides with buyer

a PayPal invoice to the email address and receive money then transferred the tickets (via Ticketmaster) to that same email address

Have you contacted your local police dept to possibly pursue it as a theft case?

Some baw enjoyed the shite out of that concert for free

Electronic transfer. Concert was a few nights after I sold them and didn’t even know about this unauthorized complaint till a few weeks later

Track down his social media and find a pic posted from the concert. Print some screenshots, media, etc. with time stamps. Mail that along with a letter from your attorney with intention of suing him for the $520 plus attorney's fees and punitive damages for pain an suffering.

Nice scam. Probably went to the concert or sold the tix.

I intend to just close this acccount but is their anyway they can take the money out of my bank account without my authorization??

Don't think so, but they will threaten to take it to collections if you don't pay.

Something similar happened to me years ago. I bought tickets on ebay to a show. I later sold the tickets on ebay because I couldn't go. The show was cancelled. The original buyer was issued a refund for the tickets, not me. I tried contacting the original buyer but got no response. The person I sold the tickets to won the dispute with paypal. i think I eventually paid. but it was about $100.

I wouldn't pay the $520. If guy told credit card company he was hacked, that's his and his bank's problem, not yours.

Buyer's name: Stan Covey

I mean he was probably hacked but I’m not sure why I should be help responsible for this dude falling for a phishing scam when my sale was legit.

Have you considered checking the buyer's knuckles?

I've never had anything go wrong with PayPal. Maybe I've just been lucky.

It won’t let me remove my banking account because of the negative balance

Tell them if they take money out of your account, you will file a dispute with your bank and they will likely lose since you have proof that you completed the sale.

I had someone draft $500 out of my paypal a few months ago. Trying to get anyone on the phone there was impossible, just got an email days later to tell me I won the dispute and they proved it to be fraudulent.
