I talked to paypal and they said they can only try to get peoples money back on a "best effort bascis" meaning if someone scams you and then drains there account down to 0.00 then paypal has no way of giving you your money back even though they have the scammers credit card and or bank account on file. People who scam suck and paypal basically lets them get away with it. So I guess anyone can quit there job and sit at home on the internet all day scamming people and make for money then us hard workin people..... NICE.
hmm. somebody paid my dad for an auction with a stolen credit card through paypal. my dad had already transfered the funds when paypal discovered this and took the funds out of his bank account! luckily my dad shipped part from his work and caught it before it was delivered.
