Accept & refund40% confidence

The buyer claims item not received, noting the delivery discrepancy to an Evanston address. Shipment tracking confirms delivery to Evanston, IL 60201, whereas the order address is Chicago, IL 60611. Because proof of delivery does not match the customer's shipping address, fighting is not viable and a refund is recommended.

Stress test · simulated PayPal reviewer

If you fight: likely to win (100%)

The merchant's draft correctly identifies a delivery address mismatch (delivered to Evanston, IL vs order address in Chicago, IL) and chooses to issue a refund. Since the tracking does not show delivery to the buyer's actual shipping address, PayPal would rule in favor of the buyer if contested; therefore, the merchant's decision to refund is sound.

Chance you would win by fighting instead: 100%. Consider fighting instead.
