Now that is funny! Here is my experience with Paypal's Resolution Center:

I'm posting this here as a warning for those of you still using Paypal...

I paid for a GPS unit here using paypal. Long story short, the GPS unit didn't arrive and the seller didn't respond to PMs or email.

So I placed a claim with Paypal's resolution center. The sent me an email that they were waiting on a reply from the seller. I checked Paypal a couple times and they still had the same message.

Then today(Sunday 6/14/201) I saw that paypal sent me an email Friday morning that said that the seller still hadnt responded so I would need to "esclate" this to a claim(I thought that was what I had already filed???).

BUT HERE IS THE KICKER!: They said that I had to file the claim BEFORE 6/14 or the matter would be closed permanantly in the sellers favor.

So it was already too late. The seller failed to respond in the two week window, but because I didn't respond within the 38 hours they gave me they ruled in his favor and I'm SOL.....

I'm glad that it was a small amount of money, but I feel like I was screwed by Paypal.

I'm closing my PP account for good.
