i  know i screwed up what i should i do? just dispute it from cc company or is it weird if i box them right now? i already sell the laptop to someone else.

i doubt there is even a small chance of succeeding on this if PayPal already wants you to consult the police.

What exactly did they say if I may ask?

I don’t think so, it’ll probably get you in some serious problems with PayPal.

@bchen5476 Is this the first item you have SE'd? You do know that you can get sentenced for a few years in prison for fraud right? In a lot of countries this is considered fraud rather than theft.

You should've thought that there was a great chance of getting caught when SEing such an expensive item. Besides, if you had done some more research you'd see that there are multiple people that tried Apple and failed.

Companies are getting more aware of this "theft" and will not make it easy for you. If you still want to pull something like this off, you needed to do extensive research prior to performing the action.

just send the report to PayPal and they will refund you. Easy af

Dammit. Why do noobs and people who don't know what they are doing insist on doing massive prices? It is people like this that just blatantly copy other peoples methods word for word and don't think up their own excuses/reasons that mean the company's start to get wise and crackdown.

Why'd you decide to SE Apple in the first place? They're literally one of the biggest and secure companies, hard to SE properly.

One of the first rules of refunding is don't be be stupid. What the fuck did you think you were doing? Apple gor sick of fuckers long time ago. Did you even open an eye on the forums? That's what happens when you get into shit you don't know anything about. Congrats, man! You tried to SE Apple, now you SE'd yourself.
