[quote author="audiopleb" date="1227136255"]Oh yeah, paypal's service is great and everything and to be fair i never had a problem with IPN or anything at all.....until....someone bought something and then decided they wanted their money back and to keep the product too. As it was a digital product there was literally nothing i could to persuade paypal that this person had never e-mailed me with a complaint or problem, they had simply gone straight to paypal and requested their money back. Lo and behold paypal paid it back and no amount of invoices or anything from me would persuade them otherwise.
So yes, paypal is a good easy service, but you just wait until you have a problem like mine, they couldn't give 2 hoots about the seller.[/quote]
This can be true with any credit card service. It's called a charge back, and there is nothing you as a seller can do about it, except maybe pursue the individual responsible. It's part of doing business online, crappy as it is, PayPal should allow a zero refund without seller consent option for digital goods, or zero refund after shipping without seller consent.
