Beware PayPal helping scammers!

[P-A-Putz]

Bought a welder online. Alice<removed> was the seller. I never received the item. Seller gave PayPal an invalid tracking number. Paypal cancelled my dispute and denied my claim based on a falsified tracking number. Worse while awaiting tracking number validation, they never gave me a chance to respond! USPS came back with research turning up an invalid tracking number. 

PayPal is assisting and abetting scammers to take your money. 

I'd like to propose a class action suit for this PayPal activity. If you've been similarly scammed, respond to me.

Seller provides tracking then seller wins, if you want paypal to help you get a refund from your chosen bad seller or scam China website then.......

APPEAL

To submit an appeal on the dispute that was closed, PayPal asks that you obtain a detailed report from the shipper/courier (on their letterhead or some other form of official stationary) that includes the address the seller gave them for the shipment. Or one that includes a statement mentioning your address and saying the item was delivered to a different address.
Check tracking in below link to see where it went.

When you have that, contact PayPal via phone (log on to your account and click Contact at the bottom of the page, however that may not be an option at the moment due to covid), or via Facebook (send a Private Message to PayPal) or via Twitter (send a Direct Message to @AskPayPal) and say you want to appeal the denial of the dispute based on the shipper saying the item was delivered to a different address. Once it's submitted (you will be provided with directions on how to do that), the dispute will be reviewed further and a determination will be made.

You also have the option to contact your card issuer if you funded your paypal payment that way and see if they will do a chargeback for you.
