Legal Question in Consumer Law in Wisconsin

You need to fight this out with PayPal, since they normally would only freeze the funds on a temporary basis, but require the transaction to be undone (with merchandise returned) before they would give the buyer his money back. If they did not do this properly or failed to give you an option to provide your evidence to them, you might consider suing them in small claims court. However, it is far more likely that you failed to promptly respond to them within time limits that they gave you, in which event you are stuck with the result. I have been involved as a PayPal buyer against sellers in disputes over merchandise quality and found that they are aggressive advocates on behalf of buyers in such cases. However, negotiations with the seller, who was very eager to "talk," quickly resolved the dispute. If you failed to attempt this, the outcome is therefore only your own fault.
