What happened was you ran into a classic issue of a seller who knows how to work a system in his favor. Truth be told, I don't think you researched the seller properly. Did you look at his feedback ratings? Did you see what other customers said about him? If not, than you're the reason you lost $2000. Honestly, I don't believe in spending that much without seeing the merch in person with my own eyes. If you're going to drop $2k, do it in person at a reputible establishment. Or, at least make sure you ordered from the actual maker of said watch. Also, make sure you read everything there is about Paypal's coverage. However, it sounds more like you need to take things up with the seller, not Paypal. All you did was use Paypal as a service. It's like paying with a credit card. What does Paypal have to do with a purchase you made willingly? You forked over the cash. The seller ripped you off. I have no idea where you made the purchase, but you should contact the vending service, like Ebay, Etsy, etc. They're the ones who should be able to help. Paypal is a payment service, not a third party who can cover your butt when a seller rips you off. I get that you're angry for losing a ton of money. But don't shove the blame on Paypal for your shortcomings. Be the adult you are and do your homework instead of blindly trusting a seller.
