Recently, a friend won one of my eBay auctions. Before I contacted him, he placed payment on my old PayPal account. I emailed him and said that I no longer used Paypal, and asked if he could please send a check or money order after retracting my unclaimed payment from PayPal.
When he went to investigate how that could be done, he found $700 in charges against his account, for purchases that he had not made. Unfortunately, he had given PayPal his bank account number (as they NOW require) and the money had been withdrawn from his account. Checks began bouncing...
He asked me for advice, but I am not familiar with PayPal since I stopped using it after they asked for a bank account number to "verify" my account, and to continue doing business.
Can anyone offer any insight into the problem, and suggest how to proceed from this point?
