Thanks, I'm steadily emailing PayPal, challenging their decision.  I'll post the final result here if it changes.  As of now, still no reply to my last email to PayPal.   Thanks for your help! ... View more

Well that certainly appears to contradict PayPal's other stated policy: 13.3 Ineligible Items. PayPal Purchase Protection only applies to PayPal payments for certain tangible, physical goods. Payments for the following are not eligible for reimbursement under PayPal Purchase Protection: Intangible items, including Digital Goods You appear to be a PayPal expert.  Perhaps you can tell me then, why would PayPal finds in favor of the seller and tells me it was because the product was intangible.    Here is there quote: Status After careful consideration, we're unable to decide this claim in your favor at this time. The item is ineligible for PayPal Buyer Protection because it is intangible.   Here is the Transaction ID #45729983VL9222933 and Claim - #PP-003-221-725-915   If you are correct and the new policy is in place, then it appears PayPal is doing a poor job of training their internal team of claims reviewers.  In both cases, I'm still out $159.99 plus the return shipping.  Yes, I actually went throught the trouble of copying the downloaded file onto a jumb drive and returning it to the seller.  I know that soundw bazar, but I wanted to eliminate any excuses for them not refunding my money.   Let me know if you have any suggestions! ...

The transaction took place on June 17, 2014.    This is cut and pasted directly from PayPal response to me: Status After careful consideration, we're unable to decide this claim in your favor at this time. The item is ineligible for PayPal Buyer Protection because it is intangible.   The following line was cut and pasted a few seconds ago from PayPal's site.  13.3 Ineligible Items. PayPal Purchase Protection only applies to PayPal payments for certain tangible, physical goods. Payments for the following are not eligible for reimbursement under PayPal Purchase Protection: Intangible items, including Digital Goods I don't know where you got your info, but if you know something I don't know, please advise.  ...

Just found out the hard way that PayPal will not protect my purchase because it was a software download.  FUTURE NETWORK SOLUTIONS a/k/a ACE NETWORKING UNLIMITED LLC sold me a counterfit copy of MS Office Professional 2013, and even after providing PayPal with three websites that contained hundreds of complaints against Future Network Solutions for not providing the correct activation code, PayPal has refused to refund my $159.99.   Never purchase a softward download using PayPal.  Yes, I know, I should have read the small print.  So here it is:    13.3 Ineligible Items. PayPal Purchase Protection only applies to PayPal payments for certain tangible, physical goods. Payments for the following are not eligible for reimbursement under PayPal Purchase Protection:   Intangible items, including Digital Goods Services Real estate, including residential property Businesses Vehicles, including motor vehicles, motorcycles, caravans, aircraft and boats Custom-made items Travel tickets, including airline flight tickets Items prohibited by the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy Items which you collect in person or arrange to be collected on your behalf, including items bought through In-Store Checkout at the retail point of sale Items that violate eBay’s Prohibited or Restricted Items Policy Industrial machinery used in manufacturing Items equivalent to cash, including prepaid or gift cards PayPal Direct Payments Virtual Terminal Payments Personal Payments       ...
