You mention Paypal Credit.

I wonder if Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act can help?

I know in the past a S75 claim has been difficult with Paypal involvement, but now they are offering credit themselves...

Thanks, yes that’s a good point. I’ll see what happens with PayPal and may pursue that avenue if I don’t get any success 

I do believe that PayPal credit is treated in the same way as a credit card where Section 75 is concerned, so I'd go for that. But I'm really surprised that ebay has allowed this to be closed so soon. They don't usually do that. I'd chase ebay as well as contacting PayPal because they can't allow sellers to get away with that kind of thing, surely? It's robbery, with a touch of fraud.

But I would never give up until I had a full refund, exactly as pinkshoes has said!

Thanks, I’ll see what happens with the PayPal dispute and I’ll certainly give it a go. eBay didn’t seem all that interested and said the issue had fallen just outside of the 30 day return period. They did say they’d support a dispute through PayPal buyer protection, but by that point I’d already seen there was no other recourse through eBay and gone directly to PayPal anyway!
