Thanks for the tip, cdr.
The worst part about the dispute process was that I was forced to select "I didn't send the item and will refund the buyer" in order to resolve it and close out the case. The system really is heavily biased toward the buyer.

Yeah, that's a real tough pill to swallow when you realize it. Most people haven't the faintest idea just how seller-hostile eBay/PayPal is.
I'm now going to extra lengths to cut out eBay as much as possible. Ultimately, it's not nearly worth it.
The other sucky thing is that I've gotten screwed as a buyer, too. Two or three times over the years, I've not received my cards. I filed disputes, won the disputes, but didn't get my money back because the sellers had closed their bank accounts. Useless fucking system.
Yup, seems like the only way to "win" a dispute as a seller is to close out your account... which is completely counter-intuitive to creating a transparent and fraud-free system. Oh well. I've gotten scammed as a buyer before too, though it was only for about $15.Quote:
