There is a "Report Post" Icon at the lower left of each post. It's a white triangle icon with red border.

I filed the dispute around 5 days after I send out the payment. And the case is closed around 10 days after the claim made. I am able to retrive all the money back to my funding credit card balance. It proves that Paypal is indeed efficient and reliable even if you are not buying things from ebay.

A second lesson is do not make deal with seller you cannot meet or you don't have any more information about him.

Just wondering if this guy is a scammer, why he uses paypal knowing that the buyer can get the money back.

Is the seller abroad or in Singapore? How much time passed between buying and registering the dispute? Chances are good if everything is in good order as paypal should suspend the seller account until pending disputes are settled. My experience with paypal is very positive, that is why they are as big and trusted as they are. Best of luck.

If i remember correctly, for paypal you need to file a dispute within 30 days of transaction. After 30 days, paypal cannot do anything. Usually what these scammers do is that they will keep telling you stories like delay shipment, or item bounce back etc. This is to drag the transaction for more than 30 days.

anyway, good to know that you got your money back.

Exactly! These guys will tend to delay things and you'll never get your money back..If you smell something fishy, please report and good that you have done and got your money back!

Thanks! Then this guy must be a rookie scammer. He disappered after I sent out the payment without any excuse or explanation, making me suspicious immediately.

Either that or think CS members are stupid.

Good that all ends well.
