The refund was posted to my account so ebay/paypal held up thier end of the deal.

Hey everyone, I am suprised that there weren't more posts about this topic about Paypal.
Guntherhess actually didn't get ripped off. He got a FULL refund.
I wish I had done it the way he did, I never received any refund and lost over $400.00 to a conartist on ebay.
Yes, lets do the happy dance and take notes on what he did.
Thanks for posting your paypal dealings and good for you.

if they don't respond, paypal will take your money back and give it to you. it takes a few weeks though. I did it through them for something paid and not received.

I had a similar situation happen to me as Guntherhess. Never recieved my Xbox which I paid about $90.00 for sent emails through ebay with no response, Filed a claim waited the 7 days with still no response from seller. Escalated claim and recieved my money back.

One thing to note, because of the way it was worded, the response from ebay/paypal the only reason I was able to recieve the full refund back was because the seller had that much in his paypal account. If he had taken it out when he was paid I don't think I would have recieved the full amount that fast. No idea what the next step would have been.
