Company refused refund now won't return item

Hi guys,

I purchased a £150 dress from a boutique website and paid through PayPal at the end of May.
The dress arrived and wasn't suitable, so as per the website's terms and conditions I returned the dress in its original packaging within the time frame specified.

I didn't hear anything for >10 days so I emailed asking if they received the dress. They replied stating that they had, but that they were not prepared to offer a refund as I had apparently got makeup on the dress.

I very rarely wear makeup and wasn't on this occasion, so I am very dubious about this, but if they say there's makeup on the dress then I guess I don't have a leg to stand on.

They offered me credit for the store. Instead, I asked that the dress be returned to me. I requested that this be returned to me exactly 4 weeks ago today but never got a response despite numerous emails/tweets etc.

So, basically, the company have gone radio silent on me and haven't returned the goods. What can I do in this situation? Are PayPal any help to me?

    Re PayPal yes it might be an option but are you out of time to do so, something for you to find out .
