Either you are not reading or you do not believe what I am saying. PayPal is the vendor here, not Apple! Walmart sells Apple Cards. They are a vendor. PayPal, using PayPal’s mailing list, in an email promoting an offer from PayPal and from a PayPal email address solicited money from me for a product that they wanted to sell. I agreed to buy it. PayPal then paid themselves (PayPal) out of my checking account. Here is a cut and paste of the notice that they sent to me: You sent a payment of $90.00 USD to PayPal Digital Gifts It may take a few moments for this transaction to appear in your account. Merchant PayPal Digital Gifts ———- Now, when the vendor does not send the merchandise you are saying that I should contact the manufacturer (in this case Apple)? That is nuts! I never ask PayPal to cover this under a “buyer protection plan”, I simply asked PayPal, as the vendor who received my payment, to send me what I had ordered or give me my money back. PayPal was the one that chose to classify it as “buyer protection plan” issue and thus deny to take any action. I have two emails from them saying exactly that. To me it is just a matter that an ethical business fulfills and stands behind the items that they sell. I have no problem with the concept that they will not guarantee the quality of an Apple Card, I just believe that when PayPal is paid do something that they are selling they should deliver it or be accessible and quick to correct th problem if they do not. Regrettably this does not appear to be in PayPals values. The point of the post is my realization of just how difficult PayPal has made it to address any issue. I have been a loyal PayPal customer since the first started. I will certainly think twice the next time I send $600 to my daughter in Australia. It has always worked but if something should go amiss......
