I have found just the opposite... I have had two cases with Paypal over
a 15 year period... I was the buyer, and in both cases I feel I got
cheated by the seller...
Case 1:
I sent money to a person for an item, never got the item... Got email
telling me it would be shipped real soon now... But somehow it never
got shipped. Within 30 days Paypal removed the funds from the seller,
and deposited them in my account. The seller never responded to Paypal
when they asked for his side of the story. That vendor no longer has
the Paypal logo on his website...
I think you got that a bit wrong. When you open a dispute with PayPal they
immediately withdraw the seller funds but dont tell you. In your case the
seller probably figured "why bother responding, I'll just let him wait for
PayPal to close the case".
Case 2:
I purchased an item, it arrived damaged, (I am sure it happened in
shipping), and the vendor offered to send a part to fix the item, being
unsure it would correct the issue, the catch-- if it did not fix the
issue too bad for me, the deal would be over... The replacement part
was a 50 cent part BTW... To make a long story short, I told the vendor
I would return his item, at his postage expense, as I had paid shipping
already to get it delivered. The vendor went insane... Started telling
me about his money problems, his house mortgage, his and his parents
health issues, etc. and how he would not pay a dime in postage because
of these other issues no matter what... He stupidly did this in
email... I sent all of this along to Paypal, and within 30 days, and
after Paypal had been in touch with the vendor, they found in my
favor...
I based on this, I will simply not do business with ANYONE who will not
take PayPal.
Could you expand on what happened to you?
PayPal written policy is that the buyer returns items at his own expense and
it is also right in the sellers listing if you bother to read the details.
It sounds as if you want both sides of the bread buttered.

Hi Carey,
It is disconcerting to hear this unprincipled cowboy story.
If you want an honest and reliable and fairly priced source of Russian
military surplus tubes then you can't go past Dr Alex Garvva UR4LL in
Ukraine. I've dealt with Alex for many years and never had a dud tube or
any
other component.
http://www.ur4ll.net/
Dr Alex is highly recommended.
Cheers,
Leigh

Hello all,
I would like to say that i am not in the habit of flaming someone but
this guy i will. I went to ebay and purchased a pair of gs35b tubes from
a seller named Tube-Shop also known as Serge UT5JCW for the only reason
that he offered a 14 day return. i usally buy from qro-parts with no
problems. so i did get the tubes and yes one was bad. i emailed Serge
UT5JCW and asked to exchange the bad tube. he said fine. meantime after
thinking about it i desided it would be cheaper for both of us if i
would just buy another tube without a cooler. 80 dollars to be exact. so
today i went to his store on ebay and added the tube and a really neat
little transverter board to my cart. guess what i have been blocked from
buying from him and can not even contact him through ebay. after digging
through old emails i find his address from the paypal payment. i email
him and ask why i was blocked. here is his reply and quote
"To be hornest I can say you why. I always block the buyers when they
return the goods. You know there is an old tubes and sometimes we have no
way to check how buyers use them. Sometimes they broke the tubes by
misusing
them and then return the tubes back. Here no way to change them so we
lost
the money. To buy the tubes somewhere else.
---
With best regards, Serge UT5JCW " end quote.
i am not sure what to think of this. and hate to see another builder get
burned. but just be warned about buying from Serge UT5JCW
