@kernowlass    I do understand that, the issue is PayPal is not going to let this remain as a dispute and wants to close it and relieve the seller from the responsibility of refunding me after the item is delivered.

@kernowlass    Yes I did open a PayPal dispute and provided all communication and information with the seller. The seller only responded after I opened the dispute and through PayPal. I did not escalate because the seller offered a refund for the item and I agreed.
