I ordered DVDs on ebay and paid through PayPal on July 14. Two days later, I contacted the seller asking if the items have been shipped. No response. A few hours later, I got an email from Ebay saying that the listing for my transaction has been removed. I checked why it was deleted, and as it turns out, the seller is all of a sudden "no longer a registered user." Shady, right? So I immediately opened a case file on Ebay. A couple hours later, the case file was closed because the seller "has offered a full refund" through PayPal. I then get an email from PayPal saying "Your PayPal payment has been refunded," however, still pending. This was July 16. So then on July 20th, I checked my email; PayPal sent me this: An eCheck payment from [seller] was declined by the sender's bank. We will automatically try to process this payment again in 3 business days. It then usually takes 3-5 days for the money to be deposited into your account. Please do not ship items until you receive payment. I am going to wait the 3 days; however, my question is, should I file a dispute if I don't get anything by that time? I had already opened a case on Ebay, but like I said, they closed it when the seller offered a "refund" (which has been pending/declined). Should I dispute this through PayPal as well? The seller's no response makes me suspicious. Thanks in advance!
