What paypal did with me was send me an email telling me it was good news and they had found in my favour and as soon as the seller had some money in their account it would come to me, which blatantly as it was a scammer who I had since found out ripped loads of people off they werent ever going to put money back in.
I was all for taking it on the chin, until paypal refused to refund me the 3 pounds in fees that they had charged me but not given to the seller (he got 37 of the 40 I paid)
So I decided if they were going to be cunts and keep the 3 quid even though they had found in my favour, I would have the lot back instead so got the credit card company not to pay paypal!
