Ive been working on a project for a client on an IOS App and he screwed me out of $10,000.00, he sent me a payment through paypal and then charged it back. What do I do, I cant afford an attorney!!!!!
 
Are you based in the usa? Depending on what state, that amount could be considered small claims court amounts.

You would be able to represent yourself in that court.

But the main question is why would you not use a payment fer service like escrow to handle the payment of that size?
 
fukkk, tried contacting PayPal support ?
what kind of app was it ?
 
I got burned one time before and had called a few lawyers but they were expensive. I called a collection agency called transworld but they sucked. I used a company called Accounts Receivable and they reached a settlement and got me paid. It cost me a percentage but I got my money. It worked out ok too because I signed up for their affiliate program and I made some coin off of it to. You should check them out:

321-710-3530 or use accounts receivable . com
 
I did business with them in the past and didnt think Id get screwed

Lol next time take wire or a check. Paypal has absolutely 0 seller protection when it comes to software/web development. If you're using paypal, always have a backup plan to delete/nullify the app if something like that goes bad.
 
just tell me somethink .

paypal must of contacted you and surly you can show you was working for someone , surly you had a contract .

dont see how anyone can get away with it .

did you do a contract ?
 
Try by looking at the laws of the state in which you reside, otherwise, I also recommend a collection agency, you'll lose some percentage but it is better than getting no money out of it.
 
Sorry to hear that buddy. Hoping it works out in your favor.
 
how did you even get 10k thu paypal , very strange usally 5k stop on each tranaction.

i beleve you just asking .

if you got a contract like i said paypal couldnt return anythink .

sonethink went wrong ?
 
Services, software and digital goods are a problem with Paypal.

Do you have emails, messages? If you no longer plan on doing business with these people you could go public with it but watch out in some places they can sue you for exposing private emails and stuff.

If you do still plan on working with them, then establishing a dialog and asking what's up is the first step.
 
Forget about PayPal support, they won't do anything for you.

To be honest: Your only chance is a lawyer. There is no other safe way to get that money.

Hey, what kind of information about him do you have? Start from there, and first of all, find as much info about him as possible. Then create a campaign around him to try and shame him. Worked for me once.
 
what was the app and is he still using it?
You should see about copyright etc also,,, Somebody threatened to sue me on fiverr because I put some work they did for me on a professional website, they said the work done was for personal use only and I didnt have the license for public use.
 
The problem is people do not read the terms:

“Proof of Delivery (for intangible or virtual items or services)” means any compelling evidence to show the purchase order was fulfilled that includes but is not limited all of the following:
  1. The date the item or service was provided;
  2. The recipient’s address (email/IP, etc.) where applicable.
You must provide proof of delivery and the onus is on you to prove it. If you fail to provide this, then you will always lose a Paypal dispute when someone claims an intangible item was ordered, but not delivered.

There are various digital product delivery services that provide evidence of proof of delivery for intangible items. If you use them, you stand a very good chance of winning a Paypal dispute in a case like this.
