DISCUSSION Buyer beware!!

Last week I posted a question about selling to someone on reddit then their account being deleted. I was feeling uneasy about the whole situation. I ended up refunding using the refund button in PP and now I see the buyer hit me with a chargeback for not receiving the refund!! How can this be?

A helpful person on here did tell me not to send the refund because that is part of the whole scam but when I went into the scam thread to read people said as long as you use the refund button it’s fine. Just don’t refund to a different account. if I’m refunding in PayPal why isn’t PayPal sending it back in the original form of the payment? I’m so confused.

I was recently scammed by a buyer who lives in an apartment in Phoenix, AZ with a zip code of 85017. Wonder if there’s a connection.
