I find it odd they went so far in the buyer's direction when it is the seller that is actually paying for the service.
To be honest, I understand the why of it, but I don't agree with just how far it goes to protect the buyer. In my case, I got called a "fucking piece of shit" via email by the buyer, because he wasn't able to get the item working, then saw a dispute shortly after. I know for a fact that the item was working, since it was working when I removed it from my computer.

But, I've responded, said my piece, and we'll see what happens. The really shitty thing is that PayPal has taken $300 from my account just because of the dispute, without anything even being decided.

Also, I keep using "dispute" but it hasn't been escalated yet, right now it's just at the "the buyer has a problem, let's deal with it" stage.
