..just curious...what are the sellers ratings and what do the comments say?
I understand you are frustrated for the funds being held. But when you use PayPal to shop they become in a sense a "moderator" for disputes. They have a duty to the buyers and sellers, not a fun job because in a dispute one side is going to be made an unhappy camper. They can't just automatically reverse charges..it has to go through a process and they deal with millions of transactions at any given time world wide..it is not like they have a personal agent just for your case and everything else is dropped.
You will get the money back or a laptop sent to you. But it seems to me you are picking some really lousy sellers. Sometimes it is worth to pay a little more to select a seller with 100% positive feedback and LOTS of transactions under their belt. If you use that tool it can be a safe way to make online purchases. Otherwise just go to a retailer next time and pay top dollar. At least you will walk out with a laptop.
