Trying to get Paypal to cancel a bastard's account

I had read somewhere in the general kaiser forums that you can go on ebay and get sim unlock CODES for the Kaiser. I had never even heard of Olipro's unlocker, because I never come to the ROM development forums.

So I went on ebay and got this item:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120245375165

When I used the software you can imagine my surprise when I saw Olipro's name and then my anger when I saw the notice that if someone sold you this on ebay cancel the Paypal payment immediately, etc, notice.

I've escalated a dispute on Paypal. The following from the resolution centre:

Buyer escalated this dispute to a Claim.

As you can see in the resolution centre, the seller is selling software on which another person has the copyright. Furthermore, the said software is provided by the rightful author for FREE. The seller is liable for copyright infringement and fraud. He fraudulently claims that there is a company called ICB NetSolutions that has the copyright to the software that he sells and that this company has authorised him to sell the software in question. NO SUCH COMPANY exists. The copyright belongs to a user of the XDA developers community (http://www.xda-developers.com/) who provides the software for FREE.

I also request that Paypal considers to cancel this user's account in order to prevent its services from being used to effect fraudulent sales.

This dispute is for the item not being as described. So please explain what it is that is not as described? I sold you an unlocking kit. The object of this was to remove the simlock from your phone. It has done this, your phone is unlocked. Now you want it for free. You got exactly what you paid for. What is your problem?

You are selling someone else's FREE software. There is no ICB NetSolutions and they certainly don't have copyright over the software. Olipro does: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=375583&highlight=unlocker http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=377866 You don't even have the technical skills to remove the screen in the software saying that "if someone sold you this stuff reverse your paypal charge immediately". And you claim that you're selling technical support? Return my money by Monday 14 April 2008, 16:00 CET. I'm not discussing this any further.

The statement below is from my listing. "The software used to unlock the phone is Copyright to ICB NetSoultions. I do not provide this software directly. What you are buying is Help and Technical support to enable you to unlock your phone to enable you to use any sim card" I clearly state that the software is not mine. I am selling help and support to unlcok your phone, which is what my listing clearly states. ICB Netsolutions who have copyright to the software allow it to be used in a unlocking kit. I have abided by their rules. By the very fact that you are mentioning that message it means that you have successfully unlocked your phone, which is what my service offerd. So how can you claim not as described? You got exactly what you paid for, an unlocked phone what is your problem?

From Buyer: on 13.04.2008 12:31 CEST

The item sold by the seller is someone else's FREE software. The software itself specifically warns that "if someone sold you this stuff reverse your paypal charge immediately"
