Does this warrant a paypal dispute?

Yay I am glad you were refunded! That is awesome. I know they knew what a horrible mistake they made by selling that to someone. They could have at least cleaned it up!

I wasn't told to mail the thing back to him, so I'll just leave it in the garage a few days and then put it out with the garbage. I didn't really expect a refund...I mainly wanted to give that seller something to think about...but I'm tickled I got my money back! Thanks to all for your helpful response!

Good for you!!!!!!

I would contact the seller and ask them to make it right. Let them know if they don't, you will leave negative feedback. The threat of negative feedback is often enough to get it resolved. In the future, only buy from sellers with 99%+ positive feedback and with used items, ask more questions about the condition before you buy. Can the item be cleaned? If so, and if the rest of it is in good condition, I doubt you would have much recourse. I once ordered some dog clothes off Ebay. They were advertised as new. They arrived reeking of cigarette smoke, with all of the packaging etc. still there. They were new. I did not think to ask whether they were stored in a smokey environment. I just washed them and moved on. Live and learn.

Even though they didn't say to mail it back, I wonder if they expect you to mail it back? I don't think I would get rid of it, until I was sure that the seller didn't expect it back.

I agree, it'd be awful if you threw it out and then they decide they wanted it back. That would suck!

So glad everything worked out in your favor though, that's great!!
