I filed an online claim a couple of days ago and today received a denial from PayPal. Can you share the number you called and maybe specifically how you worded the claim?
EDIT: I did call paypal and they had the claim coded incorrectly, so I am hopefully getting a refund next week. The claim is now stated as "product received was not as described" whereas before the claim was something else. Below is from Paypal:
We have reviewed all the details of your claim. Based on the information we have to date, we will have to deny your claim. This decision was made because your billing dispute doesn't match our qualification for a billing dispute.
