thanks for the support and feedback.
one book i recall is The Elements of Style, often called Strunk & White: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style
otherwise i've not studied writing per se, just "practice" a lot in blog posts like this one.
my shtick is to add humor, remove qualifiers, stay conversational. all tips real writers would share too, but maybe not the same writers. ;)

Your style is also confident. I remember I read about that in the book "On Writing Well". That's also refreshing.
This wouldn't work with PayPal USA. They have a hard rule that Seller protection applies only to tangible goods received from a PayPal-recognized common carrier with tracking to the buyer's Confirmed Address. This would be an automatic reversal.
Beyond that, the buyer could do a chargeback through his card issuer. If successful, PayPal takes back 103% of the payment.

this was PayPal USA, i'm an American.
You lucked out... for now. Again, a CC chargeback will be hard to fight.
i find CC chargebacks (for us, they're via Stripe) more likely to win than PayPal tbh. and often w/ CC chargeback an accountant simply wasn't aware, mistakenly filed. PayPal, otoh, is often used by people with bad intentions on Day 0.
i enjoyed your story
Congratulations on the win.
