I have a question... has anyone paid an auction with PayPal and contested a charge on their credit card because an auction seller hasn't come through with the goods?
I have a relatively high-ticket item I'm watching that is ending soon (~$500) and the seller has 0 feedback. I usually use my credit card through paypal to buy auction items (for 'protection'), but wondered what the definition of 'transaction' is to PayPal . I am concerned that if I don't get the goods and contest the charge, that PayPal will say "We did our part, your only transaction with us was to take your money and give it to the seller, and we did our part in that respect."
If I can use my credit card and rely on a chargeback in case the seller doesn't deliver, I'll probably bid... if not, well, I'm not trusting a no-feedback seller...
