I just got ripped off over the internet buy some goods using PayPal and PayPal does not want to know about it.

I purchased a battery for my laptop and the seller sent the wong one. They agreed it was the wrong one then asked me to ship it back. I did and now they won't do answer my email.

PayPal tell me they can't do anything. I should have used a Credit Card I guess.
