I filed a dispute on Dec 7, 2020. The seller and I communicated back and forth a few times, he was offering to return 1/2 of what I paid and I wanted a full refund. I opened a claim on Dec 15. On Dec 20, I received an email from PayPal requesting I return the items and to provide proof of shipping. On Dec 24, I shipped the items to the seller, and uploaded a photo of the receipt with tracking number and the receipt of the USPS Customs Declaration form. Also on Dec 24, I requested a refund for the $27 shipping fee to China and uploaded the same photo I used for the claim as proof of shipping. I was refunded the shipping fee on Dec 30, 2020. I got an email this evening from PayPal saying my case was closed because "we did not receive valid proof or tracking that you returned the merchandise." This is really unbelievable to me because not only are there two jpeg files attached to the case, but when I looked at the case history, it shows Dec 24, "Evidence provided by sender - You." Obviously I provided valid proof of tracking, I provided the same proof that got me the refund for the shipping cost. The tracking number is loud and clear in the photo. When I followed the tracking number, it shows it arrived in Shanghai.
What can I do about this, if anything at all? From my understanding, once a case is closed, there is no reopening it, but this is not my mistake, this is PayPal's mistake
