im wondering if i will win this paypal claim if i file
at the start of the month i made a deal with a member on another board. they paid i shipped. a week later they get them and say they are all damaged and ask for a refund as well as offer to ship them back. the price was 32 i sent back 38 non gift to cover the price and shipping. here i am over 2 weeks later he hasnt sent the lot back or responded to my pms which is leading me to believe that the cards wernt damaged but rather he was upset that the cards were junk gu/auto(which i told him they were before he paid) and claimed they were damaged to keep them and get his money back. i started a paypal dispute over this. my question is would i win a claim if i escalted it? since i essentially purcahsed my lot back and he hasnt sent it back. would paypal view it that way or would they rule in his favor?
i know i messed up in not waiting to get the cards back before refunding i dont need to be told that, im just looking for advice on wether paypal will side with me and how i should word the claim so they will side with me
UPDATE- after a little searching around it appears the member that did this is a banned member from that forum. he sent me an email from a different email addy then i used before and it was the same name as the username of a member i had dealt with before so i checked and sure enough the member was banned. so it looks like they are the same member. if i dont get money back at least i was able to out a scammer although if they made one account to come back im sure they will make another
