I also don“t understand why this buyer can dispute the charge on his credit card :-o If you take the winning bid of the auction and add the shipping costs, what problem can there be :-? Really, please do tell me because this is something I really want to avoid in the future !!!
In the US a credit card holder can dispute any charge, the vendor is then "charged-back" for the amount. It's then up for the vendor to prove the charge was valid. With PayPal in the middle, you're probably out of luck, as the credit card processing company would likely contact PayPal about the disputed charge.

I knew there was something fishy about him from the start. He gave me shipping instructions to send to one name, but his Paypal payment was in another name! He also used different e-mail addresses.
Are you sure it was /his/ credit card? Sounds more like the /actual/ credit card holder disputed the fraudulent charges.
