I got screwed over an online auction by a seller who seemingly makes his money robbing ppl. PayPal of course didn't want to back up anything. My thought is that the thief probably closed his account, which left no way for PayPal to get the money from the thief. This meant that PayPal could either lose hundreds of dollars and back up their guarantee or just leave me holding the bag like an idiot. If you think that PayPal did the former, you're WAY too optimistic. I showed them how I could actually prove the guy never sent what he said to my home, all they needed to do was verify the tracking number on FedEx. They either did not even bother or they are just horrible at their jobs. Point is, I spent almost a WHOLE year fighting this company. The ONLY thing that saved my hide was FairShake. In less than 2 months, they got PayPal to make good, even though PayPal wouldn't admit responsibility. That's crap, but what can ya do? At least I can say I wasn't screwed over completely, it just took me forever until I got lucky and found FairShake.
