If someone send me money (not through Ebay) will they be able to withdraw it once i've received it?

Thank you.

Cheers Ash.

My dad met the guy, and he asked the guy to sign something just to proove that he has the item. He didn't sign it so my dad asked for his ID and he said he hasn't got any ID, my Dad then told him that he isn't selling it to him until he shows him some ID and then the guy just ran away, In the middle of Central London.

My dad would've chased him but what if the guy had a gun or a knife so he didn't. We now have £330 and still have the phone we were supposed to sell to him so looks like i'll be getting a bonus pressie this Xmas.

:D

No if it says you have been sent a payment via paypal there is nothing he can do to get it back, if your dad was a scammer the other guy would have to use paypal buyer protection to get it back (-15 quid) or take your dad to the small claims courts.

I just wanted to make sure because someone was interested in my dads phone on Ebay and wanted to meet him in West London but pay via Paypal and my dad just wants to make sure theres no way the guy can withdraw his money back from me.

So, even if the guy phones up Paypal and tells them that he sent it by accident or something he still cant get the money back?

If he is a scammer my dad and his mates will kick the crap out of him because they're meeting up in Central London just outside my dad's work place.

Simple answer, no.
