i bought a item off ebay (a 10$ netgear router power supply) and i just went to pay someone for products on the bst and learned my paypal was frozen? i called paypal and they said it was due to the seller's account being "fraud" (the person i spoke with did not speak very good english) and because of this my account is now temporarily "limited". i dont see why my account should be limited because i bought something from a listing on ebay? the rep said he would start a dispute for the item and get the funds refunded but it could take 24-72 hours (or longer in some cases) to resolve this. this sucks. i told someone here in good faith i would buy something and now i can pay for it and i feel really bad about that. i have 100% ebay feedback and never once had a issue like this. i guess this seller scammed a number of people by using a stolen ebay account to sell misc stuff. but why penalize me as the buyer?
sorry for venting but this is really annoying.
has anyone ever had this happen and is this normal in this type of case? or should i call and scream and try to get it resolved quicker?
thanks for any input.
