Thanks for your comments Danny. You make this process seem so simple that im eager to learn it. Can you outline steps necessary to subpoena paypal without having access to an expensive legal letterhead(that comes with an hourly legal bill a

Thousand times this. Their buyer filtering options are laughable. If they were to let me limit sales to people with certain types of addresses, purchases of certain value, a reasonable number of feedback, etc, that would be very helpful in

I sort of agree, but again, Paypal is also enabling this to continue by refusing me the chance to bring my case to the credit card company. Short of legal action, they would not let me get the contact info for the buyers credit card company

Exactly! Paypal is the middleman here and they are preventing me from going directly to the credit card issuer and providing them with extensive documentation proving fraud. Not only that, they are making it extremely inconvenient to have a

No he was not. He went straight to his credit card and they took his side. I had no chance of appealing because Paypal would not disclose the Credit Card issuer contact info to me so that I could contact them directly

OP here. Interestingly enough, my conversations with Paypal became more and more surreal and I felt more and more powerless with every one in the end. I had a trail of information and there was evidence of multiple fraud, but I never felt a

Its 2 people sharing an apartment(Im assuming from them being engaged), so that is easier). Also rental insurance is fraction of what you mentioned, especially if its part of your auto insurance coverage.
