    Only have one case open.

    Ebay get confused easily.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    No- ebay may close their case, paypal may close theirs, net effect- no open cases.

    No- you get one chance to open a case, once it's closed you can't re-open it.

    No- you are only allowed one open at once, no extra effect WHATSOEVER, as they are treated the same way.

    Just thought I would give a tip to the OP.

    If the seller says close the dispute and they will refund you. DO NOT as once the dispute is closed it cant be re opened. This is a trick used by some poor sellers to get out of refunding.

    Maybe if you didn't give crap "advice" it wouldn't happen.

    Future spammers need to do something to boost their post-count, don't they.

    Good job some of us are still about to correct the poor advice :)

    hun i'm only trying my best to help, youre just discriminating against italians which i regret to say is racism
    please dont be racist im only trying my best :o

    I don't think there is any need to play the "racism" card...as none of us on here know each others' race, and it makes no difference anyway?

    Although you say you were trying to help your advice was wrong and others were trying to help you get the advice correct.
