We have dealt with Brandon for our scripting work and he was a nice guy to deal with my friend. Yes the amount of work and payment was not touching XXXX$ four digits but he complete the work on time and we pay him on time.
Regarding the dispute with PayPal, if you have paid him by your balance than you cant do any thing now but if you have paid him with credit card using PayPal (visa or master) than you can open a retail dispute with your bank and you will get pay your payment back. We have done this with one client and we are successful in that because we are all protected by card issues....
Beware doing this will close your PayPal account so better withdraw all funds out of it before filling retail dispute with your bank.

I filed a Paypal dispute, and they closed it within 6 hours saying:
We completed our investigation for the following transaction:
Case ID: PP-003-800-859-XXX
Transaction Date: Feb 24, 2015
Transaction Amount: -$XXXX USD
Seller's Email: [email protected]
Seller's Name: Eric Frye
Unfortunately, we are denying your claim because your purchase was for a
virtual, digital, or intangible item. Indeed, our PayPal Purchase
Protection only covers claims involving physical items that can be shipped
and tracked. Payments for intangible, digital items or services are
therefore not covered.
We encourage you to work directly with your seller to resolve the problem.
You'll find their contact information on the Transaction Details page.
It's nice to know Paypal doesn't protect buyers any longer and they are now protecting scammers. I am pissed beyond belief that Paypal is taking this stance. So basically what Paypal is saying is that if we buy anything that is not a PHYSICAL ITEM, we as buyers are fucked all day every day.   What a bunch of bullshit. This basically protects the scammers because they don't have to give us what we pay for, as paypal protects them. I didn't pay from my credit card so I can't do a charge back either. 
Any suggestions on recovering my money or reasoning with these Paypal idiots? |
