On the odd occasion where a seller of downloadable products, finds that their buyer has launched a dispute, they may login to their email address and will be met with a message to login to their Paypal account and resolve an outstanding complaint. On logging in to their Paypal account, there are met with a few options:
" Please provide some additional information about this transaction. i) I have not sent the item yet. ii) I sent the item(s) and can provide tracking information. iii) The buyer has already been refunded and I can provide proof of the previous refund. iii) None of these options apply to me.
PayPal will review the information and determine whether the claim can be closed. "
On selecting none of these apply to me as this is the only option available for downloadable mdia, the seller is met with a page that shows the buyer's name and space for a postal address, specifying where the buyer asked the seller to send the item to, knowing that there was no postal address as this item was downloadable media, sellers may be a little wary as to what to place in this field. In addition to this, the form also askes for a seller contact number, care must be taken to omit the international dialling code, as the form will not be submitted unless this is done, citing "Some required information is missing or incomplete".
A few days later an email may be sent telling the seller that there has been an update on the Paypal dispute transaction, and the seller is required to login to their Paypal account and respond.
On logging in to their Paypal account, much to their dismay, they may be met with a message that says "Resolve Unauthorised payment, how would you like to resolve this issue" and are given three options:
i) I have posted the item, and I can provide proof that the item was posted through an approved postal service to the address on the Transaction Details page. ii) I have not posted the item and I will refund payment. iii) I have refunded the payment for this transaction.
It is obvious now despite the email asking the seller to login to their Paypal account for Paypal to fight the dispute on their behalf, the reality is the dispute will always side with the buyer, as can be seen, above, there is no contingency for downloadable media, or any option in such a dispute to state that the item was downloadable media, instead the thinly veiled options are either refund or provide proof of posting(which also has to be faxed), and is obviously not possibly for a downloadable product or give up.
