Paypal blackmails customer over tickets

I put some time sensitive tickets for sale on EBAY. The event was one week before the final sale. Therefore, I could not sell them again. The final bid was $51.00 and I did have PAYPAL as an option. The bidder promptly sent me the payment. When I tried to accept the payment, I was brought to another WEB PAGE. This page demanded my personal bank account number.

Note: In the past, I did give them my credit number to make purchases through PAYPAL. However, this time I was selling and money was coming into my account. Not wanting to give them my bank account number, I refused by clicking on the appropriate icon. The original web page returned and informed my customer that I denied his payment!

Due to the expiration date of the tickets and the fact that the customer did try to pay, I mailed him the tickets anyway. I asked him to please send me a check for the bid amount. The bidder did not send me the payment. I am now out $51.00 and there was no reason for it! In addition, I am also out $3.50 for the priority mail fee.

I contacted PAYPAL and informed them that what they did was wrong. I also asked them how to pursue the collection of my payment. Their complaint web site said they would respond promptly. RUBBISH! I have not received any answer!

Holding up my payment on the basis of obtaining personal bank information amounts to nothing more that BLACK MAIL! These people should be shut down.

I should point out one more issue. PAYPAL is owned by EBAY! At this point, I don’t trust EBAY anymore that PAYPAL and will avoid doing business with both in the future.
