Don't buy from HigherFI.com


The owner of Higherfi is Chris Moon, previously of moon audio. I bought a MagLev table from him that was supposedly able to buffer vibrations into turntables and other audio equipment weighing under 80Lbs. I paid $540.00 for item to be delivered, and wow ! was I shocked at how shoddy this thing was! The pistons would get stuck at an angle preventing them from "levitating". After contacting Mr. Moon, he explained that his ebay add clearly stated "no Returns or Refunds". My bad I missed that. He then generously offered me an RMA number with 20% restocking fee if I paid shipping. I shipped it back and he refused signature. Item was returned to me again. Be real careful buying junk from this shady Chris Moon character. I learned my lesson. Hope this helps somebody else.

I have had items that I had purchased through paypal, that were not delivered as advertised and paypal instructed me to ship it back to the seller and gave me a refund within an a very short time. They have a special dialogue box for complaints/returned merchandise. Complete the form and E-mail  to them; wait for there response / instructions. Personally I would do this prior to contacting your CC Company. If Paypal does not satisfy, then I would  process thru CC Company (of course that's only my opinion, what ever action you take is your business). NOTE: I have in the past requested a  refund thru my CC Company was also successful in obtaining a refund. I think PP e-mailed me and asked me to contact them first though.
PayPal handled my past claims quite differently then your experience.  They did not transfer me to e-bay, they processed the claim and I was refunded my purchase amount within a couple / few days. They just asked me to return ship the item.  It may be because you filed a claim through e-bay (Prior to PayPal) and it was closed by E-bay (assuming not in your favor) is why PP forwarded the claim back to E-bay.
After E-bay refunded you $40.00 for your RMA shipping, you don't really say, if they are going to provide further solution, instead you state "Its wait and see now".
I am in agreement with sevs, you should file a claim with your credit card company, if you have not already. Usually it takes a phone call and your account is credited the refund. At least that has been my experience.
