How to Deal With PayPal Chargebacks

If you are a ambassador or exhausted maker, you may or may not accept dealt with a PayPal chargeback while affairs your beats online. With the hundreds of websites that acquiesce you to upload beats for sale, you may accordingly run into a bearings area you accept to accord with a PayPal chargeback. As buyer and ambassador of Almost Free Beats, LLC, I pride myself in accepting acceptable business practices and accomplishing aggregate in my ability to ensure that barter are annoyed if they buy beats. However, in December 2010, I did appointment a PayPal chargeback. Here is my abundant annual of how I handled the situation.
In December 2010, an artisan was referred to my music assembly aggregation by a acceptable acquaintance of mine. The artisan was absorbed in some beats for auction on my soundclick page. Seeing that this chump was a referral, I was aflame about the befalling to advertise beats. Referrals are usually the best blazon of barter to have.
After contacting me via email and absolution me apperceive absolutely what soundclick beats he was absorbed in, the artisan paid via acclaim agenda and I beatific the beats to him. I aswell beatific a non-exclusive exhausted licensing acceding as able-bodied as an balance assuming he paid for his instrumentals. The absolute auction was for $99.99. Afterwards a brace days, he was contacted via argument bulletin to affirm that he'd accustomed the beats. He declared that he did and he admired them. I was animated to accept addition annoyed customer, but unfortunately, things coiled decline anon afterward.
About one ages later, I woke up to an email from PayPal advertence the chump had issued a chargeback. I was disgusted to say the least! The $99.99 had been put into captivation and aswell put my PayPal annual in the negative! I was just absolutely starting to accomplish some advance affairs my beats online. I had alone awash my aboriginal exhausted in October of 2010 so for me it was affectionate of a bite in the face.
Understanding the bearings and how the PayPal altercation action works, I began to accumulate all the all-important affirmation to prove my case. Because of the way the acclaim arrangement works in America, the acclaim agenda aggregation ultimately, has the final say so as to whether or not you get your money back. PayPal alone acts as a average man appointment evidence.
I submitted the afterward to PayPal's resolution center:
All email acquaintance with the customer
Phone annal of the argument bulletin acquaintance with the client
All email acquaintance afterwards the chargeback was issued
Copies of the non-exclusive exhausted licensing agreement, active terms, and a archetype of the invoice
Note: this may assume like I went aloft and above but it is absolutely necessary!
In adjustment to win a altercation as a agent you accept to prove that the goods/services awash were accustomed by the customer!
In my situation, I bare to appearance PayPal and the Acclaim Agenda aggregation that the artisan accustomed his beats in satisfactory condition.
After appointment all of my affirmation I had to delay until backward April 2011 afore a cardinal was fabricated on the dispute. Thankfully, I won the altercation and was reimbursed my monies. However, I would never ambition something like this on any ambassador or exhausted maker affairs beats online.
Here are some of the acquaint I abstruse from this situation:
1. Keep a Acceptable Paper Trail
As a ambassador or exhausted maker, accomplish abiding you accept your business and paperwork together! It can potentially save you a lot of heartache! If you charge acknowledged admonition on contracts, agreements, etc. seek an ball advocate to awning your butt!
2. Acquaint With Your Chump & PayPal
I was in connected advice with PayPal login during the altercation process. I followed up with them generally apropos my case and aswell connected to try to acquaint with the artisan even admitting he somehow "disappeared" and didn't acquaint with me anymore. I fabricated abiding to advanced these "dead" email conversations to PayPal as affirmation for my case.
3. Be Accommodating in Chargeback Disputes
PayPal disputes assume to yield forever, but you accept to be patient. Keep affective advanced with your music assembly business. Don't let one bad angel blemish the added abundant barter out there.
Funny abundant the aforementioned chump attempted to acquaintance me via addition alias to get beats! This time he was aggravating to buy beats through Moneygram beneath a altered name and email. I anon afterwards appear him to PayPal's artifice department! Haha!
