The exact same thing happened to me. Could you PM me the paypal email address which sent you the payment? I'm curious as to whether it's the same person or not.
I'm sorry but it doesnt look good for you.
As I had no evidence beside the emails i recieved from the buyer, PayPal gave him/her a full refund and are now telling me I owe them $1000 as i deposited it to my bank account before they could take it.
So in effect the buyer got my full 2 soc char for free. I simply emailed TQ and claimed my account had been hacked and my email address changed and they gave me it back luckily.
I ended up getting $1k and keeping my character but now Paypal are on my case claiming I owe them the money so i'm going to have to pay it if i want to use my paypal account again and stop my credit rating being affected.
If you are going to sell characters the safest way is to use Ebay or get the buyers address, send them a letter and get the delivery number as proof of transaction for Paypal. The scruffy little bastards will try anything
