💸 moneyproduct problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 3/5

A PayPal user reports being unable to select the correct dispute category for a non-delivered item, forcing them to use an incorrect category that led to an initial denial, and they are now seeking information on the manual review appeal process.

Who's affected: A PayPal user who did not receive a purchased item and whose initial dispute was closed in the seller's favor.

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that helps users identify and document the correct dispute category for PayPal transactions.
  2. A community-driven database of successful PayPal appeal templates and evidence-gathering strategies for specific dispute types.
  3. A third-party advocacy service that helps consumers draft formal appeals for denied payment disputes.
