If this is true, then I'm definitely out of my money.  I sold an intangible item to someone, and within hours they filed a dispute claiming I did'nt send them the item.   I'm no longer using payfail after this.  What a waste of time and money. ... View more

Paypal and Faxing input for Disputes

So I sell an intangible item to someone, and within hours of them receiving the item they dispute that I ever sold them anything(that I effectively stole money from them).  The ONLY evidence I have against them is a chatlog, and after afew days of looking over the idiotic dispute areas, I attempted to submit the chatlog via the website.   They then requested that I FAX them the shipping information for the item.  It was **bleep**ing intangible!  I repeatedly listed in everything I submitted that the person received INTANGIBLE GOODS.  So I submitted to them yet again that the person was not SHIPPED anything, that I have no shipping information to FAX them.   Today I get an email from them stating that since I did'nt FAX them ANY kind of information(i.e. chatlogs) that they will finish their investigation without any of my input/proof.   So now if this all goes through in the buyers favor, I'm at a loss of money.  They effectively would have cheated me and stole what I was trying to sell them.   After this I'm not even bothering with Paypal anymore.  If it's this easy for me as a seller to be swindled out of hardwork, and not having Paypal putting in more effort to allow me to submit everything I have as evidence to not only protect MY income, but my integrity as a seller; then whats the point?  If it's this easy to swindle buyers out of product, then no thanks.   Is this all common on Paypal for other buyers, or is this just a really bad fluke and I've gotten the worst of it? ...
