| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. I've been fighting with PayPal for over 5 months on a refund issued after the buyer received the goods. I even have a letter from eBay stating the refund was not initiated on their end, as PayPal claimed. Meanwhile the buyer has the merchandise an... | |
