NOT that I would EVER recommend this, but since I spent 3 years as the Supervisor of a call center's Refund Department, I know a few of the "ins and outs" of what they need to hear. One of the rules is "If someone gets insanely belligerent, give them a full refund".
The last time I had an eBay issue, I sold 10 of the Cobra "Night Watch" Trooper 6 packs to a buyer in China. It was my first international sale, so I sent it with tracking. Well, the guy claimed he never received it and opened a case, ebay asked me for proof of shipment, which I readily supplied... only to be told that the delivery confirmation # SHOWS that my package entered Foreign Customs. I said, well, that should be proof that i sent it. I was told by eBay that they would grant him a refund since I could NOT show that it went to his address. Before I could even blink, they automatically reversed the Paypal funds and I was out $200. I called eBay back, thinking to myself I'm going to show how "insanely belligerent" I can be... and launched into an embittered, profanity-laced tirade about how I REALLY felt about eBay. The conversation ended like this... eBay: "We are very sorry that you feel that way, Sir." JLT: "So, you're telling me that eBay just f*&^ed me in the @$$?" eBay: Well, I wouldn't say it like that, sir... JLT: "You can say it any way you want, you corporate drone. But, on the street, we call this "getting f*&^%ed in the @$$"! eBay: Sir, as a one-time courtesy, we are going to waive the fee of $200 that you have incurred. Would that be okay?" As I said earlier, I wouldn't recommend doing this, but a well place "F*&^" in a conversation can get things done!

This is why I do NOT leave a balance in my PP account, as soon as it hits I transfer it out to my bank account. I also use a SEPARATE bank account (at the same bank I have my checking and savings w/ - to easily move the $$ around online) for PP too. PP (not E-bay, but PP in this case) tried to f*ck me a few years ago, MONTHS after a transaction, and claimed they were freezing my account and funds. I told them the joke was on them b/c there was $0.30 in my PP account, and they could have it as they shoved it up their arse. LUCKILY at the time I was using a account at a different bank (so my ex-wife did not see the account or have access to it - another smart trick ) and I did not leave anything in that one either - I used that account strictly for my "fun $$$" I did not want her in. In the end PP got NOTHING, and I got a good laugh at them for once. PS - I did not screw anyone, PP has a strict anti-second amendment policy, and decided to freeze my account for LEGAL firearms purchase, THROUGH a federal firearms dealer.
