How to recover theft by bonanza buyers??? $791.99

I made a sale on Bonanza in the amount of $791.99 and gave the buyer free shipping. That person received the goods, signed for delivery, closed their Bonanza account and filed a payment dispute. So, for letting just any degenerate open a Bonanza account and there being no recourse thus far, I am out all my money to Paypal, Bonanza Fees, Product Cost, Shipping Cost, Packaging Cost, and my time and effort. This biggest loss I’ve ever taken as an online seller! Since most of my buyers are first time Bonanza buyers, I always wondered if something like this would happen. I can tell you it would not be tolerated, and I have seller protection on all my other online market places and payment platforms. I’m disgusted with this ordeal, as this money was put back for dental that I had to put on a credit card because of it.

Wow, that really sucks. I’m sorry. I had one similar for over $500, and Paypal sided with me on it fortunately. You should be able to file a claim with USPS if it was priority mail.
Did you contest the dispute with Paypal?
