What an incompetent scammer. If he wanted to stand a chance, he should have simply claimed non-receipt, which he most likely would win. | That's certainly not a given. Seller is still skating on thin ice.
If the buyer's funding source was a credit card, the seller could still face another claim.
Some of the staffs who act on these cases just don't follow their own published rules.
Late last year, PayPal approved a case for me to return a (four-figure) device that was slightly not as described.
The seller wasn't in for delivery and someone mistakenly refused the package - which naturally came back to me.
I contacted PayPal to send me a label to send off the device again as I wasn't going to be out of pocket for guaranteed delivery a second time.
Paypal declined. They took a snapshot of the postie's return stamp, closed the case in my favour and asked me to keep the item.
