bonny, definitely try with your credit card company.

No, actually, PayPal sucks in that regard. But this is where credit cards are very, very good. You should contact your cc company immediately.

Does it make sense to replace the motherboard in a 2009 computer? I'd do it, if it meant adding a new engine that would go another 100,000 miles, versus new tires on a clunker.
I'm still using a first Gen intel iMac. It's gotta be 8 years old or so. If you can buy a win machine for that price that has sim specs, I'd go that direction. But if they cost more, the mini will last awhile.

The problem with going through the cc company is that bonny intended to use this for work. If that is mentioned, they automatically will not cover it. At least that was my experience with a claim we tried to make regarding some of KCD's tools.

Really? I wonder why. That doesn't seem fair in any way...says the self-employed person who feels pretty battered by how hard that is much of the time.
It's gotta be 8 years old or so.
See? As I've mentioned a few too many times, I'm sure...I have four working Macs, none of which are any good to me. The 13 year old iMac is a champion, except that I can't upgrade it.
I hate the idea of a Windows machine...but I feel pretty let down by Apple these days.

If I remember right, it was about how you could deduct the loss in your taxes and get the money back that way.

Dont tell them it was for work. CC are often very good about reversing charges. Much better than paypal or Amazon. If they refuse, nothing lost that was not already.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My Stepmom just did this successfully with a custom fit wheelchair for my dad. She didn't want her money back, she wanted it to actually work and then to pay the agreed upon price. They are coming out this week to fix it. I think she uses AmEx. (I don't have an AmEx)
I don't think anyone wants to be the squeakiest wheel, they just want the things they agreed to pay for and have it work. She only involved the cc company because an unworkable item arrived and the company said it was custom so they wouldn't deal with her at all. Contesting the charges was her only option. Hopefully it will end with a chair that is actually comfortable and useful for my Dad.
If you purchased something that wasn't correct, try to dispute it.

bonny,
java is correct. paypal were being assy. that's why my credit card company were the ones to reverse the charges. paypal has it against their terms to do it now (I think), but I don't particularly give a shit. I don't commit fraud, I don't have my bank reverse charges often, and I'm a good customer.
looks like amazon won't close your acct if you dispute. just don't abuse it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I posted a photo on Flickr this morning, and it got one pageview. It came via Google. That means that less than an hour after I posted the photo, someone did a google search on the title of my photo, and there was a high-ranking google result for it.
