I'm extremely frustrated, and I don't know what to do! I recently paid a guy $225 via paypal to post ads for me on craigslist. After a week of waiting for something, I received a message that he had posted 75 ads in Ohio. I checked, and not a single ad had been posted. I paid $225 for 300 ads to be posted. Not a single one was posted, and I'm out $225. I called paypal and the lady told me she would help me get a refund. Now I'm well aware that paypal generally does not cover non-physical products under buyer protection, however, 2 agents assured me they would get me a refund because of the unusual circumstances. The dispute I filed, and escalated to a claim has since been closed in the sellers favor, and paypal continues to give me false hope Everytime I talk to them. What can I do?? I've been using paypal for my buisness for years now, and this is how they treat me? Is there anything I can do to get back the money I worked hard to earn, that has been wrongfully taken from me? I already tried contacting the seller, and he took me off of Skype and will not respond to any of my emails. Surely there is something that must be done! Any help is greatly appreciated, because I'm really tempted to switch over to someone other than paypal who actually cares about helping their long term customers.
