I don't find the Resolution Center helpful at all. After hundreds if not a thousand or more PayPal purchases, I have a total of three problem purchases. This latest one is this camel's straw. Nathaniel Dominguez accepted my payment of $445 for a package deal on two fishing lures and then reneged on the sale when he found another buyer for one of them. He apologized but said he needed to accept the deal worth an incredible $20 more than my offer. He did refund my money, when I declined to but the one lure that nobody offered more for. I simply will not buy from an unethical person. My refund has been received but PayPal offers no way to protest a seller that has reneged on a sale but has refunded the money. Why should the community NOT be provided information on such sellers? In another situation, back in January, I bought an item ($225) from a person who actually did not have the item. AFter receiving my payment, he/she used a stolen credit card number to purchase the item from Cabela's and have it shipped to me. Cabela's later discovered the fraud when the credit card owner informed them of the fraudulent purchase. Cabela's demanded that I pay for the item, since I received it. They declined to contact PayPal to resolve it, and Paypal referred me back to Cabela's. This is terrible, in my opinion. The third problem occurred when a seller shipped me something other than what I bought (another $225 fishing lure). When I protested to the seller, he agreed to "make it right." Well, 3 months later I have 10 commitments from him to make it right and no he has stopped replying. Just starting the Resolutions Center process on that one and I have no faith that it will work. I might but some high end stuff with PayPal but I am not rich. Almost $900 down the drain and not a happer buyer!
