If I buy some online game's account like Dota 2 / LOL / WoW etc for someone through paypal. The seller wants first the money and I have no problem with that, but incase I don't get the account of the game which is digital goods.
1)Can I sue him?
2)Can I have my money refund-back?
I have read this: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full#9
7.3 Ineligible Items. PayPal Buyer Protection only applies to PayPal payments for certain tangible, physical goods. Payments for the following are not eligible for reimbursement under PayPal Buyer Protection:
- Intangible items, including Digital Goods (subject to exceptions as listed in Section 7.6)
- Services
- Real estate

- Vehicles, including motorcycles, caravans, aircrafts and boats

- Items which you collect in person, or arrange to be collected on your behalf, including at a retail point of sale

But I see some sites telling it's possible to get the money back.http://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/327860-paypal-protect-yourself-...

There is no buyer or seller protection for digital goods on paypal AT THE MOMENT but that is changing on June 17th.
Until then you take the risk as a buyer.
