I'm not inclined to join either, but if we don't - do the scumsucking shysters get more money? What happens to the leftovers?
Maybe there's a way we could claim the 50 bucks and give it back to PayPal?

I quit using them when they started insisting on electronic access to my checking account rather than using one of the four credit cards I had listed with them. As I don't have a debit card, and allow NO ONE, including my employer, any electronic access, that ended our business relationship.
Call PayPal directly. That is what I did. I am not sure if you situation is the same as mine was. I had a customer who received merchandise from me notify their card company to reverse the charges. That put the transaction into a dispute mode and the funds (the customer payment) were taken back out of my account. It took five months to get it resolved.
And here is the funny part.
I also contacted the customer. They had notified their bank less than a month after they filed the charge back that everything was okay and that I should be paid. And, the bank soon thereafter recharged my customer for the payment. So, the customer had paid and I had not received the funds. I found all this out when I wrote to the customer to ask them if they could contact their bank. That is when they told me they already had (good customer, just a miscommunication between us).
Did PayPal have my funds? Was the customer's bank holding the funds? I don't know. But I am sure if I had not called PayPal - and written to the customer - I would never had seen the money. PayPal said we had lost the appeal with the customer's card company.
Again, my advise, start calling and writing to all the parties involved. PayPal says they can not tell you then name of the customer's bank, but the customer will tell you. Then call the bank also if necessary. It gets to be a nice little triangle that is hard to sort through. Hope this helps.
Darn this puter took my post and Whoosh..gone...I was saying, accumatively I lost near to 200 dollars because the refunder sent it to Pay Pal as a payment instead of refund and Pay Pal says...sorry..you can't get that back! Sheesh..I Live on 574 a month and they steal from me too?? But the rigamarole I have to go through to get anything more than 50 dollars in not too clear to me. And here it is 6 days from deadline and I get email about this. So another 30 bucks to get it there in time, after I figure what I have to do and collect all the transactions I saved in folder with Pay Pal. I really got a Great Laugh from your post though. It was so funny! Thanks...I needed that!
sorry for the Repeat....thought I lost my post LOL!
