    Firstly ask the Board guide on this board to move your post over to the ebay and others board
    Did you make that request?

    Both board guides have visited these forums earlier this evening.

    So what's happened is the buyers bank has decided to back the buyer up? Now my account has been charged back to me? What the hell do I do?

    I can only assume that my posts are invisible to you, I have made my suggestions and have never lost such a claim myself yet - ever. This is not an uncommon scenario either, but I can't force you to read my posts .

    You've been told what to do.

    All you need is your proof of postage. You need to ring Paypal and refer them to their own seller protection policy as per my link.

    You are covered but it isn't unknown for Paypal to make a mistake and mix buyer and seller up, or even to forget the seller is covered. You need to sort it out.

    Paypal saying that because the buyer reopened the case as 'item not described' it has settled in the buyers favour now.
