<prompt> Human: Sold my web hosting business think Hostgator or Godaddy via PayPal to another business owner. After about three weeks he opens chargebacks via his bankcc provider rather than dispute at PayPal. As such his credit cardbank gets the final say on whether or not he deserves a refund. Obviously what bank would risk losing a customer by not refunding then? Plus the bank also takes the risk the buyer just wont pay his bill, so of course they will side with the buyer the majority of the time, as they have with my case.I sold my business, four domain names, billing data base, and clients, and the scammer wiped the servers, charged back on both me and the datacenter after about three weeks so they would disconnect the servers which were NOT included in the sale, and still has the domain name and all the clients.Namecheap domain registrar refuses to help me recover the domain, and instead told me to contact the police and blamed me for not selling the domains through there marketplace.The police said its a civil matter and to get an attorney to send a demand letter then go to small claims court. The problem if I win at small claims court, how do I collect?To make it worse the scammer is threatening my life and claims to be suing me for defamation of character and slander since I sold many of my clients that he is a scammer since he scammed me and provided screenshots of evidence.It gets even better, as PayPal says merchants are responsible for chargebacks, and that I will have to pay the negative balance or get collections on me plus possible court. Awesome right? PayPal is finally using there attorneys for something, such as scamming chargeback fraud victims, instead of using them to go after people that commit fraud using there system.Just wanted to post this here because on rsmallbusiness rlegaladvice the general consensus was get an attorney, but most attorneys Ive talked to are either not interested or warned me its going to end up costing me around the amount that Im trying to get to pay PayPal.TLDR - BusinessBuying party charge backed a few weeks after he purchased my business domain names via his credit cardbank and PayPal cantwont do anything to help, and said the final decision rests with the bank. As such its a loss. Now collection agencies will be on my rear, and police are not helpful as this is a civil matter.  <response>: Option 1: hire a lawyer. Option 2: take the loss and walk away. Option 3: there is no option 3, sorry.
