I'm really shocked by the bad reviews!

I'm really shocked by the bad reviews! I just had a very pleasant experience with Irene, a customer service agent who called me once I opened a live chat regarding a worry that I had been scammed by a company. She explained she will open a dispute and then a minute later she said that due to buyer protection and as a courtesy of Paypal they are happy to refund me immediately. I am delighted because usually it takes so long and so much hassle with companies to receive responses & refunds. Many thanks Paypal :)
