Looks a lot like one of those ebay scams you see all the time, I hate how so many people get away with it.

$400 just to get blocked on MSN. What a waste. XDThat's why i always pay with Credit Card or Paypal.

Don't know how it's done in USA but only have to call CC company here and explain the situation (and sent some 'evidence' like email if needed) and they get the money back for me. :up:

Paypal is also little more 'helpful' with getting the money back only condition was, correct me if i'm wrong, that the money needs to be on the Paypal account of the receiver, to get it back.
So if you're quick you can get it back most of the time.
(perhaps they changed the condition now, for getting money back)

I believe they refund you anyway and deduct the amount off the other person's account, even if it means that it goes negative.

Do they really do that?
Didn't knew that.

Thought.
That they only refund you if the person has the saldo on his account because:

× Not everybody has a Credit Card, so people without Credit Cards can't be credited (Paypal can't get money of your bank, you need to send it yourself if you want saldo in Paypal). Don't think Paypal wants to pay it out of there own pockets and than see if they can get the money back.

× Person (without Credit Card) can just send money to bank or something and then ignore his Paypal account and all., if he fill in wrong info in his profile and nobody sees him again on that account and he just can make a new one.. Or is Paypal tracking IP's? xD

With my Dutch PP account, I can order anything with paypal, even if my paypal saldo is lower than what I want to buy. Everything that can't be paid by the money on my account, gets deducted from my bank account automatically. That might be the case here as well.
