Thanks to everyone for their help thus far. There is progress. I just received a PayPal credit to cover return shipping to the manufacturer. The note from the seller on the PayPal transaction says that this is a partial refund to cover shipping to the manufacturer’s repair facility and that the (stated amount) balance will be refunded to me upon receipt of the DAC at the repair facility. Seems that the seller is now on record at PayPal and that he has documented my case even further that a refund is due me. As I would now expect to have the RMA very soon and maybe have this nightmare over next week, my thought is to hold off for now filing a claim with PayPal. If for some reason it does not happen as indicated on the PayPal shipping refund note I could then file the claim with the added documentation in my favor. Is my head on straight? I’m totally exhausted with this whole mess.
Probable PayPal Claim
I posted this question on someone else’s ongoing thread where PayPal was in question. So I’m starting my own thread here in hopes of getting someone in the know to answer.
Fortunately I have not had a PayPal problem up until maybe now. I just purchased a DAC on USAM . Paid using PayPal (not f&f) so I’d have protection in case I needed it. Well it looks like I may. DAC arrived and all functions do not work, as advertised. It was properly packed same as it came from the factory and box was perfect so very unlikely it could be blamed as shipping damage. It was listed 10/10 and the seller through presale emails reconfirmed everything worked properly. I’ve demanded he take the unit back and give me a full refund. It’s been several days and now the seller is saying he’s waiting to get authorization to send it back to the manufacturer for warranty repairs, which is not my problem, before he refunds my money. I’ve run out of patience and considering filing a PayPal claim. If I file a claim, and can substantiate it, which I can, does anyone know if PayPal will refund my money or at least freeze the funds until we reach a resolution?

@oregon is your post after reading mine just above or did our posts pass in cyberspace? |
I fund my PayPal account with a PayPal MasterCard. Not only to I get a couple points back, when I have an issue, and I have, they are right on it. I recently found numerous small fraudulent PayPal account transactions going back several months. I reported it to PayPal and got nowhere. I reported it to MasterCard and I received full restitution (almost $500) within a week. Along with a new MC. |
