I have a case currently with paypal in which a buyer threw up a dispute a few days after he received the package claiming it was second hand, or some such. It's hard to say since I think he's running all his responses through google translate or something, and I faintly suspect it's some kind of poorly thought out scam, since I have all the photos, tracking info, etc, I should need. That being said, if neither the buyer or myself escalates the dispute to a claim (he hasn't been responding to the case at all), what happens at that point? Will they release the funds to me that they're holding or.....?

Regarding the dispute issue: Does paypal automatically go in favor of the seller when the case isn't raised to a 'claim' within the 20 day windows? I'm in a dispute now (initiated by the buyer), but since I'm not %100 certain if the buyer is trying to scam me or not I don't necessarily want to take it to a claim.

What happens if neither side escalates to a claim? I have some Korean dude with 0% feedback in LA who is sending me mumbled responses I've made to a "Item not as described" that appear to have been made with the magic of Google translate, but he barely ever responds and although I have a ton of evidence to the contrary of his claims, I'm not sure I want to take a hard-line in the remote case that this is just a language barrier problem (which I doubt-I think he's trying some weird scam). I realize in the seller threads the seller ALWAYS loses, and vice versa in the buyer threads, but if I can just wait out this dispute I'd rather do that if that would settle things (in my favor, of course).
