Refund

Paypal

Posted in the facebook group:

  • "To whom paid with "PayPal", pls claim by "PayPal" that the events didn't take place and ask for the refund. We already got our refund for the Gala on thursday, for which we paid with "PayPal". Unfortunately, the seminar was not with Paypal"
  • 2013-08-29 Update: I just received word that Paypal has escalated my case for more thorough review. There are a number of issues. First: they only refund if claim made within 45 days. I bought my ticket on June 28 (so I could plan an international trip) but did not find out it was cancelled until August 22. Second, it may be considered a 'service' not a 'good' which PayPal also does not refund. But the fact that they escalated it to a claim is an excellent sign. Tobias you may have to change the setting of this group from private to public because we have to provide proof via a URL. PayPal looks at all this as evidence. People who filed with PayPal need to make a claim immediately and continue to update this page to show how many actually were affected.
