I purchased an item of clothing through eBay and it was totally stained and not as described. Seller agreed to a return/refund but for my buyer protection I attempted to open a case through eBay/Paypal. I paid via card through eBay and not paypal directly. When I contacted eBay about my problem they said I was covered under Buyer Protection, I quote:
"I have checked the details and can see that you have paid for the item using your card but let me explain when we make a payment on eBay a PayPal gateway is created just to keep your money secured and you are then covered for the transaction. I would further suggest you to contact PayPal so that they will be able to help you on the case further." Paypal are currently not accepting calls, it is messaging only.
I cannot open a case on Paypal as I do not have a transaction ID as the payment was made through eBay and not Paypal. I am at a total loss at to what to do next!
If I try to open a case through eBay > Paypal resolution centre, it states that the transaction cannot be found. I'm going round in circles with this one, eBay referred me to Paypal, where one Paypal customer agent responded to me requesting more information until they stopped responding to my messages.
Has this happened to anyone before? What can I do?
