I have a very similar case but I think I might have lost everything here, someone please help. I am a seller who sold a playstation 2 and 5 or 6 games to a buyer for around 60$. On the listing I wrote, NO REFUNDS, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ASK BEFORE BIDDING, and PAYMENT WITHIN 3 DAYS OF END OF AUCTION. He messaged me abunch of times wanting me to change the shipping address and I kindly told him that I could not because it was automatic or some b/s like that(I did not want to be unprotected if anything happened). This dirtbag waited abt 5 days to contact me paid a couple days later I sent the item immediately which cost me abt 11 $ @ the post office. After abt 2 or 3 days he did not try to resolve anything he just went straight to a dispute claiming "INACCURATELY DESCRIBED" that there were scratches and that the control trigger didn't work( I played the ps2 days before i packaged it to make sure it worked properly, it did) I clicked to resolve the dispute and my only options were, pay full refund, partial refund, and some other b/s that did not apply to me. I was more than happy to pay him his money back and get my item back, But since I hadent heard from him days after the money was already in my account, I spent some of it, also the shipping and handling was deducted from my earnings because I had abt 30 cents in my account. so i couldn't give him a full refund and I tried talking to him even giving him my personal phone number to see if we could work something out. But he did not respond and only escalated the dispute. The dispute said if I dident respond the money would be taken from my account after a week, so with no other option I decided to wait(kinda stupid). A very long sad story short paypal gave the idiot a full refund and that pushed my account in the negative obviously. I was planning on getting my item back and reselling it and bringing my account back in to + digits but surprise surprise he never returned my item! So he got a completely free ps2. leaving my paypal account in the red. It took me a long time to get any money to salvage my negative eBay and im still working on getting my papal back to GREEN. This dispute has been closed for a long time because i dident know what to do. So now im wondering if there's still a chance for me to get justice. I highly doubt it but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks to the awesome part of the paypal community that is willing to help others like me .
