    I bought a "permanent" link on www.picturezero.com (PR7 site) a few months ago and paid $200 for it by Paypal. The webmaster put the link up and then took it off after 2 months.

    The person who sold the link is a DP Member. I have contacted him several times with PMs and have emailed him. I have also emailed as well as replied to the email the Paypal invoice was received from but my link is still not up. I even emailed him saying that if he doesn't want to leave the link up, I am willing to take a refund. I haven't heard back from him at all.

    Is there anything I can do about this? I have been cheated off my money and I want my money back. Please help.

    Regards,
    dfsweb

    You don't give much in the way of detail as to what--exactly--you bought. Depending on that, yes, you could try to do something with PayPal or with your credit card company, but that's about it. It's not worth pursuing beyond that due to cost.

    I once purchased a script on ebay for $40 and did not receive it. The seller never got back to me after months of emails.

    I got on to PayPal and opened a dispute. It took a few emails from all involved but PayPal refunded me as part of their buyers protection policy.

    I bought a permanent text link on their home page for one of my websites for a price of $200. Re Paypal, I can not open a dispute now as it's been over 45 days since I purchased the link.

    If you used a credit card to pay through PayPal, you should have 90 days from the bill to dispute the charge. If that isn't an option, then you'll probably just have to eat the loss unless you want to fight on principle (it'll cost you for than $200 to do anything).

    Open up a dispute VIA Paypal and it should only take a week or two and you will get it back.

    You can sue them in small claims court. It will cost you no more than a filing fee which varies by state, and you can add that cost to the suit. You can subpoena their records, employees, etc., all without having to hire a lawyer. Chances are that dealing it it will cost them far more than $200, and they will settle to get you out of their hair.
