Needless to say, I was pretty pissed off. These scammers send a small insignificant package through the mail system in order to have legitimate tracking. What Paypal should do, during a dispute, is before closing the case to see if the buyer is satisfied.
So I found out Paypal has an 800 number and lo and behold, the customer
service rep totally reversed the claim in my favor and the refund to my account will post within 5 days.
Here is their updated response...

So that's it! You have to be determined or these scumbags will get away with it. I have always been told if it seems too good to be true it probably isn't. However, greed got the best of me. Live and learn...again.
