I recently bought a widget which was damaged before shipment. I used Paypal to pay the seller. I contacted seller and told him to offer it to the second bidder and I would ship it for him (NEVER BE A NICE GUY). He replied the second bidder didn't want it, and to ship it back. He then disassembled it into 2 parts and sold the parts for much less than I paid after noting the problem in the auctions. He never refunded me the bux. This has dragged on for 2 months and he doesn't respond to my emails. I filed with PayPal for refund, as they credited me once before, but their process takes forever. I'm afraid if Paypal drags it out and then says no dice, the bank will say Opps!, too late for a chargeback. So I was thinking of doing a chargeback with the bank, but if that happens what will Paypal do???

Frist You have 6 month to file any charge back on most credit cards 180 days.
there is nothing paypal can do with a charge back from a bank but exsept it they pay your bank back and get the money from the sellers account even if they have to freeze the sellers account till there is enough to get there money back.
How every charge backs cost paypal big $$$ and if they get enough from a user they will more then like suspend or cancel there registration as well I would think.
