I have posted a report on there for a website called premadewebtemplates.com. The site had advertised "...over 4,000" templates. I paid, started downloading the tempaltes. Unzipped them only to find a large numebr of the packages contained the same exact templates. I contacted the owner of the site to request a refund, not only was I turned down, but he was completely rude. PayPal has turned a blind eye to the matter b/c I was sold an intangible item, which is not covered by their policies. As I have told them numerous times, that is why there are so many con artists using PayPal to sell nontangible items. Con artists know they can rip the consumer off and nothing will be done to them by PayPal. I do plan on going to go to my bank to file a chargeback. PayPal states you cannot do it. I sure will be filing the papers, closing my account (bank), and opening a new one. All I can say is never, ever pay for something that is nontangible via PayPal!

I love Pay pal. I use it for all of my purchases and have my checking acct attached right to it. I've never had any problems with them. They're really the go-thru people, and that's it. It seems that your issue should be with the person who didn't do a satisfactory job on the site and not paypal. Before Paypal everything took so long and it was a drag when someone didn't take a credit card. Now, it clears in three days then boom I have my things. I can't believe there is actually a group of people who hate them and want to close them down! I hope they never go away!
