WOW! What a topic and I understand the lack of information.
Not sure what direction you are going in, but you may want to contact someone at PayPal to discuss their policies. PayPal will not refund
nor investigate a domain name sale issue because of PayPal's "intangible" (non-tangible) policies.
This has been their policy for a long as I can remember.
If they do not investigate...if they do not refund...then why do they accept payment for such goods?
As a facilitator of
payment for goods, one would think that there should (or would be) some accountability. I know it is hard to prove non-receipt of intangible goods (downloadable program, ebook, domain name). But to not even investigate?
One would think that if the claimant stated they did not receive the product then the burden of proof would shift to the seller side. Totally whacked from a tort point of view. The total opposite.
Still, it may be worthwhile to speak to someone at PayPal. Changing or adopting a new policy similar to escrow.com (both parties are satisfied before funds are released) would offer some assurances. PayPal could benefit even more if such a policy were adopted.
Just a thought.
