I recently sold a warcraft account for a decent amount of money. Lets say for discussion purposes $500.00usd.
The guy I sold this too seems to be a very nice guy, don't they all. We talked over vent and msn but never over the phone. Have also had some sort of discussion via email.
The transaction went very smooth. I purchased a new account for the character that he purchased, paid for the transfer to his requested server and all that jazz. I kept in contact with him via MSN pretty constantly asking him how he likes it. He said he loved it and was very happy. At that point I transferred the cash from my pay pal to my bank account ( we are both verified ) At this time everything seemed like it was perfect. Out of nervousness I removed the bank account from my pay pal, after I had transferred it, so that if the money was recalled I didn't go negative in my bank account and have to pay the bank fees.
Today I talked to him for a bit and he said he was still really happy, had some small nerve issues about a high end guild laughing at him for not knowing how to play the character at a level that he obviously should have been able too.
Then a few hours later I received an email from his pay pal email account asking if he could return the account to me in return for the cash. He also offered to give me 100 bucks in order to cover the 75 or so for the game and transfer + 25 for my time. Obviously he is being very nice about the whole situation.
The thing is though,
A: I no longer have the money and
B: I would rather not have to go threw the issue of contacting blizzard and trying to convince them that the player hacked me, somehow found out my last name, bought a new account transferred it all and potentially get the account completely banned and no profit in my pocket.
So my questions are basically what could happen here? What could he actually file as a claim with pay pal. The issues I could see him filing for is
A: never receiving the Item.
B: Not as he had expected.
Would the email conversation hold up if he decided to say he never received the item?
I would contact Pay pal, but I don't know how to go about it, and don't really want to mess up and have them revert the sale without a complaint in the first place.
If worst comes to worst and they do reward him with the cash, and the account I guess, could they potentially go into my bank account and retrieve the money? or would I just be negative in my pay pal?
