How do I open a dispute with a seller when a purchase goes wrong?

You can open a dispute in the Resolution Centre of your PayPal account within 180 days of payment if:
•You don’t receive the item
•You receive an item but it’s significantly different than the description on eBay or on the seller’s website

By opening a dispute, you can communicate directly with your seller to work out a problem transaction.

If you reach an agreement with the seller you can close the dispute. If you're still not happy with the result, you can escalate the dispute into a claim. We'll review the claim and decide on reimbursement.

These steps apply to Personal accounts. If you have a Business account, please log in to see the steps that apply to you.

To open a dispute:
1.Log in to your PayPal account.
2.Near the bottom of the page, under 'More about your account', click Resolve a problem in our Resolution Centre.
3.Click Dispute a Transaction.
4.Select the button beside the transaction you want to dispute, then click Continue.
5.Select ‘Item dispute’, click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note:
•Generally buyers must wait at least 7 days from the date of payment to escalate a dispute for an item not received
•Where an item has not been received, please ensure you have given the seller enough time before opening a dispute

https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/first-dispute

DO NOT CLOSE THE DISPUTE UNTIL YOU HAVE A CLEARED REFUND OR YOUR ITEM WHATEVER THE SELLER SAYS. ALSO DON'T FORGET TO ESCALATE THE DISPUTE TO A CLAIM WITHIN 20 DAYS IF THE SELLER DOES NOT REFUND.

If that does not work then if you funded your paypal payment via a card then contact your card issuer and see if they will do a chargeback for you.

I had ordered phone case from giztop, never arrived, never got response from them, so I put in dispute, after month paypal decided in giztop favor because giztop sent tracking number showing delivered. But if PayPal looked at tracking number, shows adress incorrectly done, returned to seller. Now I can't appeal dispute since PayPal closed case and calling I can't get through. Also giztop doesn't reply to emails.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. First, it's impossible to ship an empty box to buyer, then, to solve dispute and claim, Paypal need proof to show them what you got. Usually, a phone weight 0.5-.07kg, it's very different if the box is empty. You have to open the box when you sign it. Paypal is very fair for buyers, sometimes preference to buyers. Paypal can't provide refund just because of what you said.

What ended up happening to me, I got refunded by PayPal. But the tracking information said delivered, reason I got refund, the tracking showed delivered to another state, I live in WA state and what happened is GizTop made error on delivery address, item was returned to GizTop, then GizTop told paypal I received item and wouldn't respond to me. Think only reason I got a refund was the PayPal customer service finally looked at tracking and seen it was returned to sender, think was vegas or cali, it's been awhile. I will not buy from them again.
