I fell for an add on Facebook for a super-zoom telescope and ended up getting what was basically a toy and nothing like the item shown in the ad. Disputed the charge on my PP account and got a note back after two weeks that my dispute was being denied because the item was not substantially different than what was advertised. But the item WAS very different. I also have been corresponding with the vendor and they've offered me a 50% discount just to keep the item, which I believe only bolsters my case. I will absolutely appeal PP's decision and do so within the 10 days allotted. My question to the community is: What are the best ways to get PayPal to charge-back a vendor who may be scamming customers with fraudulent advertising claims and send out products completely different than advertised? Does it help to file a dispute with the credit card company on file with PP?
