PayPal will do whatever it takes to get money from chargebacks even if it means switching one letter in a chargeback complaint. Here is my story:
I had a lady purchase a Barbie Doll for $134.85 for an ebay
auction. She accidentally sent payment to the wrong PayPal account. She missed putting a (s) in my address and it went to a person. She filed a complaint with PayPal since she could not get the guy to refund the money. She did send me the payment and the doll was sent and she was a very happy customer. PayPal has filed a chargeback with me and I have lost the case even though the case was not against me. My buyer made her first complaint to PayPal and was not getting any results. She then
filed a second complaint with her credit card company against the person who would not return the money at(the wrong email address)and Paypal to force them to get moving on her complaint. Her
credit card company retrieved the money from PayPal for her. Paypal was supposed to get the money from wrong email address but took it from me instead. We do not think they could get if from the other person so that is why they came after me. PayPal has lied to me and my buyer
about the complaints. My buyer has contacted them and told them to take a look at the complaint and that it shows that I am not the person that it was filed against. I have talked to PayPal and they have lied to me about the whole thing. Beware of leaving money in your accounts since PayPal can decide to take it from you by changing 1 letter in their complaints. Beware of PayPal who only care about themselves!!!! I contacted Damon and was told they would review the chargeback again. I know I will never hear back.
Thanks for letting me vent.

you said your buyer left out an 'S' in your email address?
do you have a very common or popular user id?
or is it the ISP portion of the email address?

Sounds to me like another case where PayPal has illegally stolen money from one of its members. It's just sad that PayPal acts like it does. I guess any company that consistantly loses millions of dollars has to resort to stealing money from its own members to survive a little bit longer.

wonder why walmart,why not kmart or sears or dollar general.
