All, It appears to me that PAYPAL is NOT vetting seller accounts and therefore is NOT taking responsibility for fraudulent activities. I unfortunately purchased an item from a seller who had setup a Scam website (which I realized after researching it the hours after the purchase). I reported it to Paypal and asked to stop payment - and received a messaged within hours that my dispute was closed and the purchase was not found unauthorized or fraudulent. I also called Paypal and my bank and was told I needed to wait the 30 days to submit a "did not receive item" claim. But here's the thing - once you've submitted an issue with a purchase and your case is closed - Paypal's system doesn't let you submit another dispute, or claim, or escalate the issue. @Paypal - if you're not gonna actually protect buyers and/or vet sellers - then why claim that you do with your "purchase protection"? You have a responsibility as a company - to at least follow-up on reported fraud to protect other customers! It's such a shame to see that you've setup loopholes to wash your hands of any responsibility. I will no longer be using your services and will definitely advise others not to pay items through you.
