I took the time to respond to your post with the information that answered your question.

If you think that is 'cold' rather than saying 'thank you' then thats your problem.

So I will go back to watching my film, bye.

WHEN you sign up with Paypal,did you read about withholding and seller protection?

your buyer can claim item not received and get his money back in 180 days ,you have no proof from a commercial carrier like USPS,FED EXP or UPS ,DHL that you have delivered the item,so Paypal has to take the money from you and refund him.

They give you 21 days figure if he does not complain in 21 days,you can have your money when in fact both Paypal and his credit card issuer allows 180 days.

If you read this forum and Ebay forum,many buyers take advantage the virtual goods have no physical delivery so they will file item not received and get their freebie.

you said they are using it now,but there is no proof whatever they are using come from you,Paypal robot does not read email or pictures,hard cold fact DC showing delivered.

However,there are exceptions,if you provide a service like building a website,and contract or details showing what is to be done and a link to the website.Paypal would take all these into consideration.

Generally speaking,virtual/ditital goods,services will lose a dispute if you cannot prove delivery ,not good if you are a service provider,massuer,hair stylist,plumber,handyman,

go to Paypal AND read what is not protected.

BTW,when you receive Paypal email notice  YOU GET CASH,did you notice if your tem is whole or partially eligible for protection,go find that email/

the PAYPAL email notice saying You get cash,always pay attention to the following-

(1) is the item whole or partially eligible for seller protection

(2) you must ship to the address given in the email to get seller protection

Prior to that,one must read PAYPAL terms and agreement on what is not eligible and what is proof of delivery before using Paypal to accept payments/

some seller who sells digital goods or provide service will send a thank you note or a copy of work performed in an envelope with tracking,USPS first class mail $2.66 wil give you a tracking ,if $750 or more,signature confirmation is needed.

I have a proof for the transaction when I gave it to him and his email and the convo we had and yes I have recorded the transaction between me and him anyhow the buyer isnt a guys it's a legit website that buys digital items for money and I've talked to them about this problem this morning and they're trying to contact paypal to release my money, paypal cant just simply hold my money for 21 days they should contact the buyer they have the email that the money got send from and they would reply that they received the item but NO paypal is just holding the money!!!
