Domestic (US) money transfer Other transaction issues Colorado

I used Paypal to pay for a large welder which was to be palletized and shipped across several states. I paid trucking co independent of seller. Seller did not bother to secure the welder or any of its accessories to the pallet upon which it was shipped and of course it arrived damaged which cost me many hours of time and a significant portion of the cost of welder and shipping to repair to functional, much less aesthetically the same as when it left sellers shop. I filed a complaint against seller, weeks later Paypal tells me only way to resolve the case was to ship it back to seller at my own cost, after I had already paid the costs to repair machine because I needed to use it and did n't have enough money extra to buy a second welder while I waited on a response from Paypal. I appealed this decision, Paypal contacted seller for their response, seller did not agree to a refund and Paypal told me there was nothing they could do. At this point nearly 60 days had passed so I contacted my credit card issuer to do a chargeback, they have no online dispute process so I 'm forced to mail dispute information and after receiving it credit card company tells me that because they did n't receive it within 60 days of the original charge they are unwilling to do anything to help me. I believe that Paypal deliberately draws out the length of their dispute resolution process to avoid the possibility of a chargeback when they fail to protect their customers from negligent or scamming sellers.
