lostnfound

I sold an item for a little over $5000 a month ago, fedex tracking shows it was delivered and signed for, with signature image and and all. It was shipped fully insured to the full value, and packaged professionally by the shipping location. Shipped to a verified paypal address. The day after it was delivered the buyer left positive feedback. I gave three days to return it if not completely happy. Apparently the buyer was happy with it, because it was never returned and I didn't hear a thing.

Now, a month later, the buyer tried to initiate a chargeback, claiming it never arrived! Fortunately, the chargeback failed due to lack of funds (I don't keep that kind of money in a back account tied to paypal, having been warned about chargeback fraud before), and paypal is 'investigating'. (Yeah, sure.) I much rather have them try to get money from me in a fraud than me trying to recover from them!

Not sure where this will lead. I actually found this site while googling for an attorney who specialized in chargeback fraud, if they exist, or to find other legal options. I may need an attorney to subpoena paypal to provide the card issuer (who they keep secret), and then pressure the issuer to back off. Anyone know of legal counsel who can drive this? I'm located in SF, CA.

Edit: sorry if this is the wrong place, it might really belong in the paypal section...
