Ok, I got what you have run into. This intermediary appears to be making "fake" sales, getting paid then disputing the purchase fee as an unknown or invalid charge. Paypal permits this, as sometimes peoples accounts are hacked, and unlawful charges are made. BUT, from what I see you have run into a very shady person that KNOWS how Paypal works and is using their dispute mechanic to rip you off. They make a sale, you pay them their 40%, once they get paid, they dispute the sale as an invalid one. (Saying they never made it) Paypal then refunds the original purchase price. Leaving you out 40% of the purchase price of the software..... Is this the correct version? Couple of things, the payments you sent to this intermediary, were they made through Paypal? If they were, contact PayPal, tell them what is going on and dispute those payments. As a General rule, for agreements such as this, I would put a 30 or 60 day waiting period before I would send an intermediary any funds for purchases he has "brought in" That way, his chance to dispute those charges is negated as they are old charges. (hind sight is always better than foresight) What is the general purpose of the "Night hunter" Software? In ANY case, I would be getting hold of PayPal customer support, telling them what is going on and explaining that you are being scammed by this individual and that he is using their Terms of service to do it. This is going to be a tough hill to climb, present them with ALL the documentation and proof you can, this means screen shots, emails, any other form of proof you can get your hands on. The more information you can give them, the better your chances are. Big hint here, If you can, contact their office by phone. It is a lot harder to brush someone off when you are talking to them one on one. Barring that, next choice would be their online service chat. Last and very least desirable, is to email them. When you DO contact them, be ready to send any and all information you have at the drop of a hat. Be prepared and above all, be courteous. Be prepared to realize you were scammed and Paypal may not believe you or your proof. First things first, identify ANY new sales that claim to be generated from this "intermediary" and ignore them. OR, contact Paypal, let them know what is going on, they may advise you to let another "sale" go through, watch it and when it gets flagged as "invalid" they will have their proof that the crook is using PayPal's TOS to rip off their customers. Paypal will NOT take kindly to that and will take action. I wish you the best, and I hope you get this mess sorted out. It is sometimes the good guys that take the hit. I am sorry you ran into a disreputable person like this, they are everywhere and always looking for someone to rip off.
