Default got screwed...what should i do?

ok so theres a guy on heremotopsychozwho had posted a tail fairing for sale. so we set up the deal and i send him the money via pay pal. 3 days goes by and i message him asking if he sent it out and then he tells me today he refunded my money. theres no refund in my pay pal account. i got the dudes ip address and **** but only so much you can do with that. any advice? can you dispute stuff on pay pal?

definitely file a paypal dispute....trust...me as a seller, paypal sucks...as a buyer they are awesome...file a claim...forward them the email that he refunded you the money....they would know if he did...if not...they will debit it against his account....don't worry...they will pretty much pay you...even if you are lying.....don't get me started on how sh*tty they are to sellers....

why would he refund your money ? is there something you are leaving out or did he just tell you outta the blue " i refunded your money" ? right now he has a sale up for 2 helmets .. is this guy another scammer , or did your deal just go bad ?

ok this is the story....the dude put up in the classifieds that he was selling an OEM tail fairing for $130 with minor rash....i was like holy **** thats one hell of a deal so i messaged him we set it up i send him $130 immediately...then he says he gotta find a box to ship it so 3 days go by and yesterday i message him asking if he sent it out yet and he ignored my message so today i message him asking what the deal was and he says "oh i already refunded your money" im like ummmm ok well nice of you to tell me this instead of having me wait for a part im not gonna get....so i go check my pay pal and there is not refund or money on my account.....so then he tells me he refunded my money because he went to go ship it out and the shipping was $40 more than he thought it would be and didnt bother asking me if i just wanted to pay an extra $40 for the shipping and then says the $130 refund just hasnt cleared his account yet...as far as many experiences with pay pal my money was sent, recieved, or refunded immediately so i dont really know what to believe

I do a lot of business via PayPal. He's full of ****. When you send a refund, it is sent immediately. As long as he has a bank account on file with PayPal, they will debit his account electronically right away, although it takes a business day for it to show up. However, the refund is credited to you right away. File a complaint. Look for "Security Center." Upper right hand corner when you log in. Good luck, but I am sure you'll get your $$ back.

he really shouldve asked you if you wnated a refund 1st . thats a really ****ty way to do business. also he shouldve knwo how much it wouldv ebeen for shipping when he set up a price . basically he set a price w/ shipping , found out it was more and canceled the deal and supposedly refunded your money . damn what is it with new members on here sellin **** and ****in ppl over [:@]
