Hotel and Travelocity agree to refund but PayPal rejects the claim twice and closes case

This is black and white. I booked a hotel room in France for my family. When I arrived in the town to stay two hours later, the woman from the hotel called and told me it was a mistake and she had no rooms and that Travelocity had booked it improperly. Travelocity agreed to refund the charge and I have an email from them I attached stating such. The woman from the hotel also sent me an apology via Travelocity that Travelocity forwarded to me acknowledging she had no rooms available and blaming Travelocity for improperly booking the room.

After years and years of use and loyalty to PayPal, PayPal has now forced me to file this case not once or twice, but three times. Both initial times PayPal has sided with Travelocity/Expedia in the face of written documentation from them and the hotel and an admission that I am due this refund. Someone at PayPal is not even reviewing this matter and is blindly siding with Travelocity....or else its a faulty AI robot.

Please, please help me to rectify this grievous wrong.

 

Thank you,  Fleeced in France by PayPal in Silicon Valley

Why are you having to file a case, if Travelocity agreed to a refund then why did they not just issue one?

Good question. I’m not certain, but I booked the hotel room through Expedia/travelocity (same company) using PayPal as the the option to pay. PayPal May have received the refund that Travelocity claims to have processed, but PayPal has declined and closed my case twice, with out refunding the money or explaining why. Their email simply says “we’ve declined the refund since our records show you received the service”. Very frustrating for a company this size to make this so difficult.
