I bought an item from a small business website shopping cart a week last Sunday and the item has failed to appear. The shopping cart was set up to pay via PayPal which is not unusual for a small time trader. The vendor isn't returning emails or answering ther phone so if the goods don't arrive today I am going to use the PayPal buyer compliants procedure to get a refund. Anyone here ever used it, does it work OK?

It does work but it can be very slow. I remember getting a refund about 3 months later once from payoak, and replacement goods from the seller
Almost like paypal just pestered them and then made a refund themselves anyway assuming nothing got doneDoing the needful since 1827 -

Thanks, if it doesn't turn up today I'll ask the vendor to make a refund via PayPal and if that doesn't happen within 24 hours then I'll put it into the complaints process.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Thanks, I should think that if goods don't arrive and there's no communication from the vendor, then it would work 100% in favour of the buyer. Kind of puts you off dealing with a smaller trader when I could have bought the exact same thing from Amazon for about £10 more and had it delivered the next day. Live and learn I suppose.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.
