Seller deleted his account after I purchased the item and has taken my money, PayPal closed the case

[dahus-1715]

Hi everyone, i've had this issue where i purchased an iPad. I paid for it and shortly after the seller deleted their account, the account went from pounds to Australian Dollars when shown on the paypal transaction which i thought was suspicious initially before the account was deleted. So i opened a claim through paypal to try and cancel the transaction but they closed my case as i mistakingly chose the wrong section and deemed it unauthorised transaction so they said i wasn't eligable to buyers protection. PayPal said i could open a case with eBay, but as i go onto ebay they said i couldn't as i already opened one with PayPal. Was a lot of money and i'm pretty worried about it 😬. Thanks for your time!

eBay will have suspended the scam seller's account but they're not very helpful to the buyers.  Ring Paypal via their contact link and press them to help you.  Or if you used your card with Paypal ring your card provider and see if they will help.
