Disaster — Take Two
Hi,
It appears that the situation is worse than I imagined. A client who scammed us with a false chargeback claim appears to have sent us another payment for a service using a different name.
I learned about it when checking the status of the first claim.
I have been on the phone with PayPal about getting a “provisional credit,” which they do sometimes offer while such disputes are being investigated. But I was told that the policy was tightened about a month ago; those of you who use PayPal for business payments probably know about the change.
In short, I’ll soon be in the hole again, this time to the tune of nearly $1,000 once the new claim is processed.
I’ve been using PayPal since the early 2000s, and have never run into a problem of this sort before. All of the people I’ve worked with have been honest in their dealings with me.
So, I am certain I’ll win in the end and get my money back. But it can take up 30 days to investigate a payment dispute.
Despite everything, I’m working hard with our webmaster/marketing person to finish up, at long last, the Paracast site. I thought it would be done by the first of this month, but these things often take longer than planned.
Despite the setbacks, I’m trying to stay positive.
In the meantime, can you help me survive a while longer?

As I wrote Tuesday, I’ve been online and accepting ads and subscription payments for years. Never had a problem.
But one if our clients, who got what he paid for, filed a false chargeback with his bank for a refund.
