So an update... Got an email from paypal saying they are declining my dispute as they do not cover virtual products! WTF?? So despite the evidence they gave the scammer the money. How pathetic from PAYPAL! We need an paypal alternative for safer online purchases. $150 down the drain!
I always pay with a credit card through Paypal. I had an issue with some software I purchased last week. Contacted the seller they refused to refund even though they broke their own terms of service, I created a claim in Paypal and the rejected because of a virtual good. Then I called my credit card company within 10 minutes the money was back in my account. They will take it up with Paypal and whatever the outcome is it doesn't matter, they say I keep the money.
