That is some bs this happens to me a lot, I wouldn't of paid the return shipment. What I get a lot is a send something off and buyer states item is not as described and they want a partial refund and of course if I refuse they threaten negative feedback.

Paypal says the money has been taken from the buyer and that they are holding it. I wont see a penny (not even the shipping costs) until after the buyer says they got the item and are happy with it or after 21 days if the buyer doesnt do anything.

I called them up on the phone and they said that I should just ship the item as fast as possable with money from my own pocket and then wait for however long it takes for the buyer to say the got the item and that its OK.

It would have been faster if I just asked for a check/money order.


Sorry PayPal but I'll no longer be using your services!!!

I sell stuff and I refuse to use PayPal. Interesting thing is, it has not slowed sales one darn bit.

I never use pay pal either!
