I have followed this thread as much as possible but I must have missed
something:  The buyer disputed the charge -- can't the seller do the same?
Surely there is some recourse for the seller, yes?

No there is not. They have a "seller protection" plan but it only covers physical items that were sent with a minimum of delivery confirmation and in some cases need signature confirmation. NO VIRTUAL ITEMS OR SERVICES ARE COVERED. Not only that, if item was not delivered seller has no recourse. Items do get lost in the mail, if you offer insurance (which I always do) but the buyer does not want it they can then reverse the transaction if the item does not arrive. Bottom line, the only time a seller is "safe" from reversal is when an item is DELIVERED WITH SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION COULD BE REVERSED. So never send out anything without insurance and sig confirmation if you want to be covered. Hell who knows what else they would require even if you DID all this :(

I went ahead and paid the assholes the $88. They basically stole it from me at gunpoint, I delivered the "goods" and had proof of it in ICQ records but paypal reversed it anyway and left me a negative $88 balance. They then pulled out the gun and told me if I did not "take care" of the negative $88 balance they would send a collection agency after me and ruin my credit rating, plus charge me "recovery fees" along with the $88. Fuck them, I will use alternatives whenever possible. Am afraid to file anything else, they have my personal info and accounts, they could do anything they want to me.
