I always pay with paypal balance but this time it wasn't enough. My old card was expired so I just added my new card. However, I get an error when I tried to say. Just a generic error message. Card WAS added and I got a confirmation email for it. However, I can't pay and there's a deadline by which I need to make this payment. Do I have to wait for my card to be confirmed by the bank or something? Thank you.

@kernowlass But for example, trading paypal from crypto doesn't work entirely because of chargebacks. Cryptos are a digital item as well and not too different from my case. No one wants to trade that because they know they will get a chargeback. Scammers avoid paypal because apparently it's heavily biased towards buyers. But still, they completely told me off. I don't even care that much about $20, but the principle bothers me. Paypal don't care basically and the scammer got away with it. Several people got scammed by him at the very least. Evil wins. I'm not sure that I want to bother my credit card company for $20 (probably even less because I think I partly paid via paypal wallet). I'll just try to bother paypal some more.

@kernowlass He didn't send me anything. He took the money and disappeared. I can't believe I'm not covered for that. Also, what difference does it make? You can't prove that a physical item didn't arrive in the same way how you can't prove that a digital service hasn't been done. What's the difference? Why is one covered and the other one isn't? Furthermore, why didn't paypal at least say something? Why did they just straight up tell me to **bleep** off?

@kernowlass But he has another stealth paypal account and other people are complaining about me. They didn't even respond, didn't ask anything, absolutely nothing. It was a digital good. Some kind of script for a website. So not a physical good. I was pretty sure he was a scammer when he demanded half the money upfront and he couldn't have waited until he showed some proof of work. I was SURE I would get refunded. Don't know how this happened. I even pointed out his stealth paypal account.

Alright now this guy has been exposed PUBLICLY by another person. Seems he made many scams. Why is paypal not taking action? Why has my case disappeared?

Well, I paid with the goods and services option. I thought that was enough to warrant buyer protection. Also, I sent them his stealth paypal email (his first and last names were reversed) to which he allegedly could not receive funds because it is limited. Probably due to scams.

So I got scammed recently. I was 70-80% sure the guy was a scammer but I knew I would be safe paying with goods and services, right? So the guy scams me, never replies to anything ever again. I open the dispute. Time passes, I escalate to paypal.
It stays there ''under review'' for a few hours, then the case completely disappears. I don't see it under issues or anything. No emails, nothing. What happened there?
