I hate paypal. I jewed them once pretty good though. I sold a $1000 NAS on ebay, this was right around when ebay started their 30-day customer returns FOR ANY REASON. Well I was trying to help this buyer overcome his own ignorance of the product he purchased for 3 weeks. He started getting bitchy and saying he just wanted to return it. Meaning i would have to pay well over $100 for return shipping of a NAS loaded with disks. I was just passed the time that my fund became withdrawable from paypal so i quick transferred them all out, disconnected my bank account, and then called my bank to tell them that paypal is not authorized to withdraw any money from my account for any reason.
So seller opens up the case and ebay ends up printing the return label and changing my paypal account, which somehow worked. I got the NAS shipped back to me for free and kept the money i was payed for it. meanwhile the buyer musthave been refunded as well from ebay if not paypal. Got few whiny emails from paypal demanding i owe them $1000-something but I still use the same ebay account to this day without issue. anyway, fuckem all
