I've Been Well And Truly Ripped Off....

Paypal can't stop people trading, any more than your bank or card company can. I think trading standards are the people you need for that.

Paypal is a financial service that's all. They have a lot of their own (IMO slightly dodgy) rules, which are not law, and don't do much to protect anybody except themselves.

Who says paypal is a safe way to buy and sell? Oh yeh, that would be paypal ;) Do you always believe everything you're told?! Wake up people.
 
Well tonight there is a credit for the full amount showing in my bank account! It shows as coming via PayPal. I've just been on the PayPal site and resolution centre and it shows the credit when you click details there is a message from the seller saying:

I have been informed that, your item was sent by the wrong courier service and has been infact also put on the wrong delivery van. I have dismissed my staff member as this is unfortnately not the only item. This is very very unappectable!. I can only give you my deepest apologises for such a mess up. I have set up a free 25 pounds voucher for you to use whenever you'd like, by putting in code xxxx

Fairdos - won't ever shop there again and I'm not sure I believe the story however they have done the right thing and refunded (finally). Case closed.
