Value of property in dispute

$288

@lizardbyte has made a number of purchases from me dating back to June 15, 2026, including powerleveling and raid gear. He usually paid with Zelle or CashApp, but made one payment of $288 via PayPal Friends and Family for a bundle of raid gear on July 31st. Received a chargeback dispute notification yesterday, months later. Redacting his personal info in case this is a mistake.

His name is consistent across PayPal, CashApp, and Zelle, looks like he is arguing to PayPal that it wasn't him who made this transaction. So I've submitted all the evidence to PayPal.

Was going to give him some time to reply to me, but saw that he read my message to him last night without replying.

So that's what I've got for now. Haven't heard from him, perhaps if he doesn't respond I could get his identification info to upload to the PayPal case since he's Verified? I am assuming it will match the information on his PayPal, CashApp, and Zelle since everything else does.

Anyways, would recommend not trading with guy for now.

similar behavior that happened to me recently.

if original poster truly is in the right best thing you can do is find the buyers personal email/phone number and give them a call/email once a day under legal debt collection rights, dont cross over into harassment. had a guy try to scam me for 1400$ and after 2 months of debt collection i finally got my money because he said "what do i have to do to get this to stop" and i replied "just do the right thing nothing more, nothing less"

@lizardbyte has been placed under investigation pending the results of this dispute.

If you can speak on your own behalf and clear this issue up, we can hopefully move on from the issue with a positive outcome lizard.

Dang! Glad you got it back at least.

PayPal has sided with me in the past for the few chargeback attempts I've dealt with. Hopefully they do again and that's the end of it.

Kind of hard to argue your PayPal, CashApp and Zelle all got hacked simultaneously and a string of purchases were made with them over months without you ever noticing...

If someone pays you via PayPal Friends & Family and later files a dispute or chargeback, don’t respond, and especially don’t submit evidence showing the payment was for goods or services. Using F&F for a sale is against PayPal’s terms, so any evidence you provide is effectively an admission of a policy violation. That can lead to account strikes you won’t be notified about, and repeated strikes can end in a permanent ban. This has happened before: even the original MQ developers lost their PayPal accounts over donations.

You usually don’t need to respond anyway. PayPal’s automated systems check whether the payment came from the buyer’s usual device, IP address, and so on, and when it did, the case tends to resolve in your favor. I’ve won every one of these cases without responding at all.
Be aware that some buyers know all this and file disputes deliberately. They’re betting that you’ll either immediately hit refund, fail to respond and they’ll get their money back, or respond with evidence and get your account banned. The Fitzgerald twins have tried this several times.

I hope that it works out in your favor! Users that do this are fairly low.... and it's not like avoiding Verification will prevent us from finding you. Imagine how much it sucks to have your boss receive an email about how you're scamming on company time.
