You both are schmucks.

Number 1, Zack, you should have ensured the correct operation of the exhaust BEFORE painting anything just to keep your options open in case it didn't work. Types of situations like these are why. At least you were smart enough to pay with a credit card and are able to dispute the charge. It doesn't matter if Paypal decided against you, Paypal's decision has no legal standing when it comes to charge disputes. If the card company decides in your favor, Paypal will hand that money over and that will be the final say. Paypal disputes are simply an internal way of handling disputes for Paypal and it's members but is not the end-all, be-all.

If you have texts, post them.....you don't need permission from anyone here and it would lend a lot of credibility to your story.

As for whitewalker, stop talking about your "online credibility", you have none. No one knows who each other is on this board. You haven't posted any references as it relates your credibility on any site, good or bad.

Post the texts.....if he said he would reimburse the $800, that's pretty damning evidence.
