How can I get a dispute with Paypal over an item/service not recieved but paid for?

[mdavis5095]

I Paid for ear cropping for a set of puppies and never recieved the service, I seller promised to send back the money, but to no avail, got nada.  I have waited for over a year and even contacted paypal and not heard a word from them. Im needing to know what or where to turn to get this settled, the seller is shifty and far from honest.  Can someone help me ?

You have up to 180 days to file a paypal dispute so unfortunately you are too late now.

You could also have filed with your card issuer if you funded your paypal payment that way but i expect you are too late to do that as well.

Your only option as far as I can see is private legal action but you would have to take legal advice on that one.

Neither PayPal nor credit cards offer any recourse for transactions over a year old.  This should have been challenged within a month of paying.

Furthermore, your buyer protection would have been limited since you didn't purchase a physical item.  Reviewing PayPal buyer protection policies recommended before you make more purchases.
