Paypal Orders Buyer of Violin To Destroy It For a Refund

[Daniel]

Erica was once the owner of an old violin that had survived through WWII, and decided to sell it on Ebay for $2500. The person who bought it decided it was a counterfeit and wanted his money back. Paypal decided to honor the request for a refund on the condition that the buyer destroy the violin and provided photographic evidence of the destruction. Couldn't he have just returned it?

Sounds like a hoax to me, but I guess it's possible.

I hate PayPal, so I believe it :p

1. Buy $100 violin, then claim it's a fake
2. Buy $5 violin, smash it up, send photo to PayPal
3. Profit!

the only thing is you don't get a refund for returning the item :L

According to some people, the violin should have been sent back instead.

1. Buy $2500 violin, then claim it's a fake.
2. Buy a $100 fake violin, return it instead of the real one.
3. Profit!
