Me and 2 of my friends are purchasing Yeezy 350s, we did a group deal valued at $2050+credit card fees (3 pairs).

My friend did a transaction in the past with this seller where he purchased PB Yeezy 350s without any issues, so we trusted him and were going to buy more pairs. We did a PayPal gift transaction using a credit card to make the purchase. It has been more than week and the seller is acting very shady through text messages (sporadically responding/ignoring our text messages). At this point, we just want our money back. We tried doing a PayPal unauthorized claim, but PayPal ruled there wasn't any unauthorized access made to the account so the claim was closed.

Has this happened to anyone else? What are our options.. Can I contact Visa (credit card company) directly regarding this transaction? What do I tell them specifically to get our money back?

This seller is a from NY/NJ, so we may file a police report if we have to. We have text messages, addresses and all his contact information.

Please advise fam.

:nerd:

Your best hope is VISA or whatever financial institution that issued the card.

Why would you do Paypal gift for a major purchase?

Go see if your CC company can reverse it.

Op go knock on his door and get your shoes. Why should you need to hop on the internet to ask for advise? :smh:
 
What exactly possessed you into thinking sending $2000 in a gift payment was a good idea?

For the record, a gift payment doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose a chargeback claim. But it's not something that you should do.

Business transaction doesn't guarantee you not getting scammed either but it does make it a little harder for the scammer to do so.
