TheBitMint - Buy Bitcoins With PayPal (Site Closed)

[xxaudioxx]

I have the same situation. I just received a Paypal Claim for the Btc i sold to him 2 weeks ago...  

[TheBitMan]

PayPal limited my account I'll take a screenshot..

[TheBitMan]

They even opened up cases of money I sent myself to my other account..

[TheBitMan]

And here are only a small amount of the cases paypal opened up..not me I blocked out the peoples names,amounts and transaction id for privacy

[TheBitMan]

How do I respond and what do I tell paypal?

[TheBitMan]

How do I respond and what do I tell paypal?

CRAP, CRAP, CRAP.

First do not respond with ANYTHING yet!

well I am going to refund the people who purchased today..and then everything else says waiting on other party..

[TheBitMan]

How do I respond and what do I tell paypal?

CRAP, CRAP, CRAP.

First do not respond with ANYTHING yet!

Now what has probably happened is that PP found out you were dealing in Bitcoins and so they have "come after you".

First, please tell me how many charge backs YOU recieved during the operation of your business.  By that I mean before this shitstorm how many times, when you SOLD BTC did you get a chargeback (loss) in your business?

I had the same guy charge me back about 4-5 times on purchases he made all at once when I ran minibits, the recently another guy opened up a case and I had another problem with someone fro cananda. I had to refund the first scammer the first time and now the other ones were pretty recent.

[TheBitMan]

Well that being said I won't request scammer tag yet.  Don't rush, figure it out, and repay me (and others) in full and it won't reflect bad on you.
Crap this is why I never accept PP.  I broke my rule and look what happens.

I can't pay you guys back it says waiting on other party for some. What's your paypal name?

Next I need to know exactly what happened today.  How many of us that SOLD you BTC are under investigation.  That is our transactions have been place on hold.  I know about me and DeathAndTaxes, how many others are there?

A lot, I am am very sorry for this. Everyone who has been a good buyer and seller really doesn't deserve all this. I am not sure of all my sellers names but its' a lot.

By this I do not mean how many transactions I mean how many different PEOPLE that sold you BTC have had their transactions reversed.

Around 10

[TheBitMan]

The only action I can take is on purchases paypal wont let me do anything with selling..

[TheBitMan]

someone told me to put in digital goods sale if someone ever charged me back so it might be the same scenario.

[TheBitMan]

Does anyone have any actual real world experience in this situation?  I believe PP found out TheBitMan was dealing BTC as a business and has swooped in to shut him down.

TheBitMan,  has any of your 10 suppliers answered the PP email yet?  I believe you may be able to see a difference in the status.  Like yes the seller has responded to their inquiry.

nothing yet, this might be a stupid questions but do you think everyone at paypal is aware that bitcoin is against the tos?

[TheBitMan]

I have to go mobile soon but I will be on my phone taking care of things, just might take a little longer to respond.

[TheBitMan]

Since the payments were sent as gifts/personal payment I am responding as "none of the above".  I see this as a personal debt between me & TheBitMan.

I also agree with BurtW.  I would prefer repayment of the $190 via BTC or some non-PayPal method. 

someone else i sold to calle paypal abd they said all i have to do is verify it was a gift and you can get your money..

[redrobin]

No, you have to call paypal and verify that YOU sent the money. This is all on your end they need to speak to YOU

[TheBitMan]

im on hold now with them im saying it was gift

[TheBitMan]

the lady said they did this because i dont have a proper amount of info on my account they said they will unhold all the money once i give them A LOT of info..not 18 so idk how a drivers license would work out. they also want info on my bussiness

[redrobin]

All they want to do is verify your account. You're not even paypal verified. Just get verified and tell them they were a gift. Of course they'd want ID. Tell em you have no business.
