The item is of absolutely no use to myself, since it is faulty and is potentially unsafe. Thanks for your help anyway guys, Peter.

I recently opened a paypal dispute recently as I ordered a pair of jeans and they were fake. The seller refused to pay return postage but I got my money back and still have the item (which the seller can have back when he pays postage or sends a courier)

Was that as a voluntary gesture on behalf of the seller or via the PayPal process?

Ah ok, I guess they're a bit keener on the counterfeit thing. My claim is for 'significantly not as described', which is different. I want my money!

Me too. I've told them that they will receive daily telephone calls until it is sorted. I have a free number for PayPal, so I will continue calling them every day to check on the progress of my claim! Peter.

I hate waiting for DNS changes to propogate - never sure I've not just cocked it up! Gaaaaargh! I wish it'd hurry up and work!

Could you post that number here, or PM it to me? I've an ongoing dispute with PayPal - they wanted me to provide evidence the DS game I was sent was fake by sending them an expert's stamped approval that the game was fake! Yeah, how am I gonna/get the time to do that?! In the end I faxed them off the inside of the game's manual (which was just a review of the game  ) and the serial number on the back of the box (all the naughts!) - they still wouldn't accept my 'significantly not as described' claim. The auction page said brand new and sealed. Funnily enough, I thought I was getting a real game I'll be using every avenue to get my money back if PayPal [LIFTED] me about anymore (my credit card company, Trading Standards, anyone who can possibly help)

Get to Trading Standards or contact ELSPA - they'll get the game confirmed as fake for you. Possibly initiate a prosecution too.

Sorry, when I said "Free" it's actually a London number. It'll be included in any bundled minutes on your mobile free of charge. Tel: 020 86053000 Fax: 020 86053001 Hope that helps, Peter.

im on study leave now  no more school for a month, then we go back for a six-week headstart on A2 i can see this ending two ways: i either actually do some revising and do alright in the exams (january exams were all Ds so if i want a decent grade i will actually have to work), or i say 'screw it' and play TF2 the whole time, and botch the exams, end up on the dole and die alone on a council estate i really hope i have the willpower for the former
