    Is the invoice that you have a PayPal invoice that you paid? If so, how on earth did PayPal think you hadn't paid for goods?

    Paypal fights chargebacks and usually wins.

    It is your credit card YOU call and you explain to them goods not received, and THEY (cc) then open a case against Paypal if they think they have grounds and Paypal will fight back and state "non physical goods were purchased, case closed"

    It will drag on for a few weeks and am not sure your chances of winning back your money at Paypal the goods were bought with your consent and you used your home address so no one was hacking you, you have grounds that good were not received and they are going to counter-claim that it was a computerised program.

    do you have expeirence of this from before

    Have you actually phoned Paypal?

    Does it say anywhere on Paypal what evidence you actually need to show it was goods?
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Paypal's standard line for chargebacks is that the service they provided the customer was one of money transfer, which they have successfully provided and that they have investigated and rejected a claim. They will therefore reject the chargeback from the cc company.

    then you have to pay for the damage they cause when they blow up.

    they are designed to work on US voltage of 120v NOT our UK voltage of 230v. They will go bang if plugged into a standered UK socket.
    you would need to use one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Voltage-Convertor-Step-Transformer/dp/B000UPEWLI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365176938&sr=8-1&keywords=uk+to+usa+power+converter
    at extra cost, and even then i would worry about using one on something that draws as much power as one of those mini ovens.
