Today something broke in me. I have been disputing one of my purchases through paypal for about a week and it finally came back in the favor of the seller (I was the buyer). In short there was a product that I didn't like and wanted to get refunded for because it seemed way better before the purchase. The sad part is that it was a virtual item and that's why paypal's buyer protection didn't cover me. Also the company stated that the item would be nonrefundable, however I was just so disappointed that I wanted my money back regardless.
I don't want to get too much into detail, but I basically lost my money and the item. This got me incredibly mad and I wrote them a lot of serious letters. It's odd how pleasing people can turn when someone is this mad and expresses themselves fully without fear.
In short I will be spending this whole week spreading awareness about how the company fucks over customers and will write my story on as many sites and forums as I can and make them lose least 100x as much money as they would have lost by refunding me. That would have cost them way less.
Even though I lost the money, I feel strong today. I feel strong because I stood up for myself and fought back even though at first it seemed that there's nothing I can do. That was BS, there's always something you can do!
On a few occasions I did second guess myself about whether this is the right approach and maybe I should just let this go because I won't win either way anymore. But then I went over what happened and trusted my instinct about fighting back more than the one that avoids confrontation. Even if I don't win any more, I can make them lose more than I did.
