Hi

To cut my story short I recently purchased an autographed jersey which I now have found out is in fact a poor forgery. I'm UK based and the seller who sold me the item has been selling these for the last 10 years so I now suspect much of his stock is actually fake with the exception of a few which i believe he mixes in with his fakes to make him look legit.

My question is before i file a dispute with Paypal....What proof will Paypal require from me to prove what I've purchased is a forgery and would I have to send the item back to the seller as that's something which worries me as this seller will just sell it to some other poor soul. 

I would rather destroy the item but at the same time I need to be reimbursed as it's quite a considerable amount of money I've paid for it.

Any help much appreciated.

Many thanksDavid
