I could go to PayPal, but will give the supplier 48 hours.
Please note that, of late, PayPal does NOT honor their guarantee in many, many circumstances. Personally, I was one of the earliest PayPal subscribers in the late 90s or early 2000s, I think. Over those 20 years, I've filed 2 claims. The first was denied twice, but them finally paid out of the blue some 3 months later. The second was again denied along with a notice that they were cancelling my account because I was too "high risk". Twenty years and tens of thousands of dollars run thru their system, and I can no longer use PayPal. The PayPal Community forum is full of complaints from people who never got their money back, their accounts got cancelled, etc.
