Really, paypal requires I go out of my way to send back a used item (in my case) that was listed as new!??

Why would I have to go out of my way to buy a shipping envie, drive to the post office and spend money to mail it if I was the one who was "wronged"?

I just emailed my seller that the item I got was not new and listed the reasons why.

So you are saying it's better to work it out with the seller before filing?
