Re: WTH is up with Paypal?
Wouldn't be surprised if the guy in the Philippines complained to the local Pay-Pal / Ebay that there was something wrong with the item in an attempt to get a refund while keeping the paint gun. A lot of times the buyer is assumed to be correct while the seller gets the blame. Could be why you suddenly got the 'rubber hose' treatment by Pay-Pal. They could be trying to find some minor Terms of Service violation so they can pull the money out of your bank account. I have read horror stories of Pay-Pal/Ebay pulling a lot of money from someone's account because of some dispute. When they do that, you now have to fight with them while they are holding on to your money. That is one reason why I have never tied my bank account to Ebay/Pay-Pal. Just a credit card that still provides all the normal consumer credit protections that come with a CC.
