I&#x27;m not sure why the article posters thinks paypal disputes are ever favorable.  There&#x27;s been articles all over the internet on how horrible their CS is and pretty blatantly discribes their bad practices and how they haven&#x27;t gotten any better. I&#x27;m just surprised people refuse to use alternatives for online payments.  Even if paypal says you&#x27;re protected, if you didn&#x27;t use a Credit Card through their service to make the purchase it&#x27;s kind of the author&#x27;s fault for trusting Paypal to be competent at being able to resolve this issue even after it was blatantly going to be a scam.<p>tldr; I find it pretty hard to feel compassion for the author here.
