Hey guys so i have a huge issue with paypal.
I wanted to sell my wow account and sold it to a guy on markee who was fairly new to buying but offering best price. Had a great Rep thread i knew he was legit. Ok so this is what i did
- Sold him account for 130 (Made fake ID because was in a stupid name)
-12 hours later he realizes its fake calls me with threats and basically has all my info
-I was sent 130 by him and immediatly requested paypal to put it in my checking
-I issue him a refund
The question I have is, since the 130 wasnt in my checking yet, and i issued him a refund will it charge my checking even though it wasnt in. This kinda involves some thinking (math) because it takes 4 days for a deposit into paypal. and 4 days for a refund. So will they be 12 hours apart and will i loose no money? He is giving me my wow account back once he recieves the refund which supposably takes 4 days...
Please guys try not to flame me, i feel incredibly dissapointed in myself and feel like i failed. I already got shit talked in Shoutbawx when asking for help. Please just give me answers and dont waste my time would be really appreciated. |

Basically the money would be sent to your checking and than refunded back. If the money hasn't been sent to your checking, then it would just refund the 130 from the paypal because its still in your paypal account. |

why would you try to transfer the money to your bank THEN issue him a refund right after? did you think that thru? |

And my retarded self did not delete his license ID! So basically if i dont follow this guys exact instructions i could be in big trouble!
Since i know the email he transferred it to, and the cd key and ALL INFO to the account i was thinking since i refunded him shouldnt i get my account back. But he wants to wait the 5 days for the refund to be issued. He seems legit and i have high confidence in getting my account back. But i had thoughts of recalling it....(this could just drive him to report me for fraud since i gave him so much personal and friend info correct)? |

1. Using a friend's license for scamming, you can get not you into trouble, but your friend.
2. Using a legit paypal..
My suggestion is you tell your parents a story like you sold the account but he wanted the money back and gave you the account back and you just issued him a refund, and tell them that it might be removed from ur bank because the money he gave you was sent there, that's all.
Hope this helped you.  |

please refrain from doing stupid shit like this in the future. |
