Basically I sold a laptop, and with the funds bought another all through Paypal.

Anyway the guy I bought mine of sent it special delivery, I got it the next day, excellent service so far. Anyway I had mine all wrapped up ready to post the next weekend, The morning I was abought to post I checked to get the buyer address through my paypal account and was shocked to see it limited. I got an email from Paypal saying something along the lines of being high risk I had to verify a few things, which Include invoices from where I originally bought my items, which I simply don't have, I phoned paypal and they said I need all this documentation to get the limitation lifted.

In the mean time the money I paid to get my laptop was put on hold, and off course the seller wasn't happy, He was huffing and puffing about calling the Police on me and taking me to court etc, So I asked him if I pay you by cheque will you tell paypal this so they can release the funds, "Oh yes no problem" he said, so I sent of the cheque to him Special delivery, he got it the next day.

The guy I sold my laptop to I told him I could not complete the transaction, and I can't as theres no way of getting the limitation lifed so he filed a complaint against me and assures me if he doesn't get his money back it'll be court for me.

When the guy I paid by cheque received it he went back on his word, he is avoiding me so I have no way of getting my money back, I sent paypal an email with the tracking number which proves I paid him via cheque, there is even his signature, but paypal will not release the funds to me unless this guy gives them the go ahead, and thus I can not refund the original sender and am going to end up in court, and if I do go to court I'm damn sure I'm taking someone else with me that caused this mess.

So do I start a court action against Paypal or the seller?

You need to start court action against Paypal.

First: Please CONSULT A LAWYER. This is important.

Second: Save any documentation of ANYTHING involved in this matter...even if you think it isn't important.

Third: Write down chronologically all the events precipitating this matter. Your lawyer will need a clear and concise record of all events.

And for future activities, I would suggest creating a special bank account specifically for paypal use. This makes it very easy to track all transactions, and does not allow paypal access to your main account. Most banks will allow you the option of transferring between accounts expeditiously, so when you need money in your paypal account to complete a sale, a transfer can be made for the specified amount without jeopardising any additional funds.

I was buying things off ebay using paypal and had it set up with my credit card and for some reason they started charging my bank account, when i asked why they said they had no record of it and i sent them bank records and they emailed me saying that it was enough proof.. i have since then had to change my bank because they took several hundred dollars from my account without my authorization.. i have not used paypal since

I would schedule a consultation with a lawyer who handles matters like this, just to be sure.
