    I downloaded a template from a fellow dp member and then asked the template owner how much to change colors to blues he qouted me a price I paid him and haven't heard nothing since ( its been 1 week today) so my question is What is the average turn around for someone to change colors on a template they designed? and should I file a claim with paypal

    I wouldn't file a claim because you already got what you paid for (the template). If he doesn't want to offer to change the templates, just find someone else to do it for you...

    Not sure what the turnaround time is, but its basically faster with the designer who designed it rather than someone who didn't..

    A free template? In that case he doesn't have the right to sell it... you can file a claim with this (you have proof too right?)

    And he didn't do it? So yes, file a claim. You should hear from him because of this...

    I don't know the average turn around time for that but I think that should be very easy. Have you tried contacting him or are you just waiting him to get back to you?

    Well sending a claim will pressure him to respond as paypal gives you X amount of time to do so..

    It will work out, don't worry :)

    it was for a service or goods that was not performed by goods I mean images and css of changed colors
    here is the message he just sent me
    "you never said you wanted me to make the changes you asked how much it was for you to change it not me"
    so my next question is did I not make myself clear as when I have asked other templates owners the same question they have understood me for instance I had Rob aka Anon change my colors on the singe template
    and here is my original request

    Its not going to take a week to change a template. If changing only the images color and the css file it should be finish around 1-2 hour.

    Paypal do not issue a refund for digital product. It is if you pay via paypal 'cash'. But if you pay via credit card, you can do a chargeback with your credit card bank company.
