I got fobbed off with a fake DVD from an e-bay seller. I'm in the UK and the seller was in the US. I went back to them to complain, but they are not being that helpful, saying I can send it back for a refund for the DVD (by the time I pay postage & pay-pal I'll be lucky to end up with £1 left !!!)
Now they say the DVD was not available in the US, but it is still clearly a fake - Is this legal for them to do this? Other than Pay-pal / e-bay is there anyone else I can take this to?

You can try a refund request to PayPal, but don't hold your breath.
You can also report the sale of a counterfeit DVD to the authorities, (see the link below). In the US Intellectual Property Rights prosecutions are handled by ICE.

he's sending it prevalent delivery, probably merely in an envelope, that's why that's much less costly. he's the single taking a possibility, in case you do not acquire it you may develop a "not won dispute" which he will lose because of the fact he has to furnish data of delivery. Tracked mail, costing plenty greater, is the only data PayPal accepts from sellers. so which you would be able to get your a refund. yet prevalent mail is sluggish, so which you will could desire to attend some weeks to get it. you have 40 5 days after paying to develop a dispute in case you are going to be able to desire to. in case you opt for to get it speedier and tracked (that's greater secure) because of the fact that's uncommon, ask him approximately paying greater beneficial for the top rate mail delivery.

File a PayPal claim through their dispute console. You'll be required to send it back with tracking, which as you mentioned will not be worth it. For future reference, the only way to get any money back in situations like this is to lie in your dispute and say you didn't receive the item. Good luck.
