Buyer transferred too much money?
Good bye,
I just have one question: I sold my motorcycle through the classifieds.
The buyer had transferred €350 to me via real-time transfer as a down payment, followed by another €2,500 via PayPal. We had previously tried to send €2,500 to me via regular online banking from bank to bank, but according to the buyer, something was wrong with his banking app.
Now he has realized that he sent €2500 via online banking, even though I already received the same amount from him via Paypal.
I have already transferred the money back to him but my question is what would happen if I didn't send it back?
Could it be prosecuted legally, etc.? What would be the consequences?
Thank you in advance

According to BGB, this is called unjustified enrichment. Sounds worse than it is because you didn’t do anything wrong and you didn’t commit a crime. But you are legally obliged to refund the amount.
This is a fraud.
See “www,smallanzeigen.de” and “http://www.mobile.de” in the FAQs, this is explained, You make yourself guilty of money laundering.
just that with “I’ve turned over too much” or “I’m passing the money for the forwarding right away, please forward” are such tricks.
I’d always be careful with that. It can also be a fraud. In the end, you might have paid him €2,500 instead of getting.
Grds, this is a purely civil matter. If he does too much, he will reclaim the amount, if necessary by lawsuit. But he should have addressed you before. Otherwise, there are very effective process means to save himself from the situation and to impose all the costs of the court.
But it’s just a hypothetical scenario.
I love these effective process resources – that is where you can earn money.
I’m talking about this: https://dejure.org/gesetze/ZPO/93.html
What do they mean?
Your account will be blocked and you will get mail from the police and then from the court. You will be asked to pay for it, to express yourself, and you will have the chance to pay it all right away. If you don’t do it, there’s a high bill on that amount. The punishment. If you can’t pay anything, you can sit down in jail. 10 euros a day or so.
The purchase agreement includes the purchase price – if too much has been transferred, of course, you are obliged to return the money immediately. If you don’t, you’ll be in court. Then you’ll get turf when you see a letter from the prosecutor’s office fluttered into your mailbox.
I hope that’s ironic.
Of course;)
You don’t automatically get a complaint if someone does it without a legal reason and you don’t pay it back immediately. And not at all from the prosecutor if it is a civil matter. Unless the buyer is randomly a prosecutor.
So what is it now? 😅
So, if you keep too much paid money, then the surcharge is, and 2500 euros are not exactly peanuts.
