Rich,
Thanks for the info, I will keep that in mind for if I ever get this mess straightened out. Cameron, Does that still work if you use a credit card to make your paypal payment? Or only if it is directly to the seller? Is there a credit card company that is better for that sort of thing? The reason I ask is, I contacted president's choice mastercard after the first bad refractometer and they gave me the runaround about how they have a warranty that would have covered the item if I broke it within the first 90 days; however, because it was defective from the seller, it was not eligible for that. I could not believe how backwards that seemed. They told me that if it was fraudulent or something I could do a charge back, but recommended that I work it out with the person I bought it from (fortunately the seller was awesome to deal with - but I was still very disappointed with the card company. I always assumed it provided more protection than that). As a customer, I don't feel like I should be inconvenienced any further for a mistake that the seller is responsible for. I sent them a nasty email reminding them that we had entered into a contract. I paid for a salinity refractomer, and a salinity refractometer is what they are obligated to provide - regardless of whether or not they send me a brix meter or a shoe or a tennis racket or whatever, they still have to supply the item that the deal was for. I kinda drew my line in the sand and said I would send back their brix meter after I received the correct item and money for return shipping, or a full refund and money for return shipping. I am waiting to see what they decide but I am guessing that it will have to go through the paypal dispute process and I will end up being screwed out of the shipping cost or an administrative charge of some sort.... I would have been nice to be able to call the credit card company and be done with it. - Chad

That would make it FAR to easy for the Crooks out there. They could charge up anything on a credit card and do a charge back for no reason and poof.... “They got your stuff for free”. Unfortunate, but that is the way it is now.. Crooks make it very difficult in a lot of businesses. I am a Realtor and believe me, they are always thinking of an angle, that is what they do 24/7!

Rich,
You are right, I've met one or two crooks in my time and they do ruin it for the rest of us. But I had heard stories before about how people reversed charges on their credit cards and was just wondering about what situations that would apply to. - Chad
