I sold an item on ebay, shipped it, buyer received it, then decided they didn't like it. But the day after the buyer received the item I went on a trip overseas in an area with no internet reception. Meanwhile Ebay and then Paypal sent emails regarding the return/refund to buyer. However, I never saw any of it until about 3 weeks later, upon my return. In the mean time, not having heard from me, PayPal refunded the money to buyer, plus Paypal fees they paid. But the buyer never returned the item. Since my return I have demanded the return of my item - no response from buyer, and PayPal says "too bad, you were late in responding, so we sent the money back, but we are not obligated the demand the buyer send the item back to you". REALLY??? I have furnished proofs of my travel to PayPal, talked and emailed time after time, but they will not do anything. They have the worst customer service and do not give a damn. So, the buyer has the money + the item ($1475 - nothing to sniff at...). And I am **bleep** with no recourse.
