You did the right thing; prevent PayPal from obtaining your money. Sad that we have to do these things to protect ourselves.

Paypal just sent me a survey for the resolution part of the transaction. ... . Bahahahahahaha. WTF?? So screw me over and you want to know how I feel. I included a link to this message board and my personal experience as well as some choice comments and concerns.

I never fill out surveys but this one struck a nerve.

I hope the qualitative analyst reading my comments isn't drinking anything while reading them at his/her computer...

Apparently doing a SNAD claim for a long sleeve tshirt violates Paypals acceptable use policy!

After careful consideration, we're unable to decide this claim in your favour at this time.

The item violates the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy. It's ineligible for PayPal Buyer Protection.

Are these clowns drunk or high or what?

PayPal rarely decides a Dispute that has them losing a fee. I can't see how you could have won here in all honesty. The buyer says he didn't get what he paid for, you say he did. Even if PayPal does find in your favor, the buyer can then file a claim with his Credit Card company and PayPal can do nothing about that. Once the buyers Credit Card company reverses the charge, PayPal comes for you, regardless of the decision PayPal made. It's a no-win scenario and PayPal won't fight to get your money back from the Credit Card company. This is why PayPal will allow no changes to your account while a Dispute is open - they want the ability to get money from you. You cannot change, remove or add banking or credit card information to a PayPal account with an open Dispute. This is why you must close all accounts PayPal has at once.

As for this affecting your credit rating should you never pay PayPal, not so much. Collection agencies buy debt for pennies on the dollar. As long as you tell them that they are attempting to collect a false debt, they will stop. Once a debt is realized as false, no other collection agency will buy the debt and you'll stop hearing from anybody regarding the debt. It's a all a freakin' racket and you just need to know how to play the game to win.

It's like with the police they won't touch an ebay or paypal case because it's their word against yours. I sent you a brick so you sent me back a brick. Madness pure and simple.

To recoop your money file an insurance claim in the computer and you should get your $$$ back and then never use paypal again

I dont think the OP had an shipping insurance on the item he sent out.

Yes this is exactly what happened to me. Sorry it happened to you to. I decided to never use paypal again. They got me the last and final time. Hope it was good for them!
