Paypal Purchase
5 Answers
I've just won a phone on eBay at a reasonable price. I haven't actually paid for it yet and I'm in two minds as to whether its genuine or not. I have explained this to the seller and my reason for stalling ( the picture showed no beats audio sign on back of phone) he said it rubbed off, which sounds feesable and after looking on line other people have said the same about there's.
Its through PayPal so if it is fake I could just claim a refund from them.
I have also asked him to send me a picture of the phone switched on showing the IMEI number as there is a tool you can check to see if its legit.
Are you covered for refunds through PayPal with counterfeit goods?
Even if the phone was listed as something it wasn't. I.e The title and details showed it was for HTC one x when the pictures showed it to be the newer HTC one. I initially contacted the buyer and it was for the HTC one. I think that's why I got it for cheaper (£250) as the title suggested it was a one x.
Also, can you register a credit card with PayPal and maybe get covered from my credit card company as well as PayPal?

It only works if you pay the business seller directly.
SOME credit cards will help you out but that is one of the company's own terms and conditions, not the law.
