Hello here is my issue, I bought a car and paid through PayPal, then seller wanted more money, I refused to pay additional amount. The deal was voided and seller sold car elsewhere, seller is not verified so he can't access funds. I filed claim with PayPal to get money back. I have filed a police report against seller and online fraud report because PayPal told me to and I would get money back. I filed another claim, it was denied, I appealed it, and it was denied again because they say I authorized it which i am not arguing, but once the seller asked for more money and I declined, we went separate ways except PayPal will not return my money. Spent hours on phone with them. Then they finally told me to file claim with bank and I did, BOA filed multiple claims, BOA let me know I was denied because Paypal said I authorized the original transaction. I called back again, this time they tried to tell me I was past 180 days and there's nothing they can do, that I will have to find a external way of getting my money back. I can not afford to lose this money, I had to take out a loan just to get a car. I thought about small claims court, but in Florida small claims court has a cap of $5,000 and this transaction is higher. Don't know what to do at this point. I have tried everything, spend hours upon hours on the phone with Paypal and Bank of America. I would appreciate any help on this matter, I have given Paypal the police report, fraud report, emails from the seller showing that the deal is terminated. Seller at this point will have nothing to do with me since I would not pay the additional money he requested. I tried to get him to call Paypal.
