I was told on a forum where my transaction took place that the seller doesn't refund disputes. They also suspended my account. Here is a quick run down: I bought a virtual item on a forum that seemed promising and trustworthy. Item ended up not coming. Seller promised to refund me well over a month ago (about 10 weeks ago). In between 10 weeks they would tell me my refund was "in queue" and hoped to get my refund to me soon. Weeks keep passing, seller is still giving excuses. I got worried so I opened a dispute. I waited for one whole week without a reply from the seller. I escalated the dispute to a claim. Last night I had had enough after another bs excuses. I told them that all they had to do was refund me via paypal. For some reason this made them want to try and refund me right then. They messaged me today saying that they had just tried to issue the refund, but saw that it was disputed and told me they do not refund disputed cases... So, is it possible for a seller to refund a claim? Does paypal keep this from happening for some reason or does the payment not count as an update to the claim? Would the claim be automatically closed? Note: They also suspended my account on the forum for opening a dispute. I had opened the dispute a week ago. Funny that they suddenly realized it was being disputed when they "tried to refund" me last night. Pretty sure I got scammed. Which is my own fault, I am well aware of that. No need to tell me how stupid I am or anything please.
