>The thing is, even here on HN (where I expect, maybe not warranted, the level to be higher), people seem to absolutely proud and entitled to chargeback whatever for whatever reason.
I'm not American (I'm from the UK), but filing a chargeback is an incredibly satisfying weapon for a consumer.
So many companies try to weasel out of their legal obligations under consumer protection law, so why not hit them with a chargeback when they won't do what they're required to?
After being burned by PayPal protection not working out, I will now buy anything I can directly on a Credit Card, as you just get so much more protection in the UK - both contractually and legally.
