In 2011 I purchased an item on eBay for $33 and paid with Paypal. After I got the email, about 5 minutes later, I realized I had not updated our address and the item would go to Maryland where we lived before, we had just moved to TV and this was the first item I had purchased after moving.
I immediately emailed the seller and told them the mistake and asked if they could cancel the order. I also gave them my correct address and went to eBay and Paypal and corrected my address. The seller emailed back that the item was already in shipping and could not be cancelled or the address changed.
I kept track of the shipping status and saw that the item was not actually shipped for five days and about ten days later when it was shown as delivered I made a claim with Paypal with all the facts. Paypal denied my claim.
A week later I filed a claim with Discover card and about a month later I was credited $33 by Discover. So Paypal is not the end-all that some might think.
