Windfall
This is amazing. I was shafted out of $27.50 back in February by a seller on eBay who never sent me the goods from her auction. Since it was such a piddly amount, Paypal made only a token effort at recovery, which amounted to, "May she have her money back, please?" Not surprisingly, there was no response.
Imagine my surprise when I got an email from Paypal today telling me that I had gotten a refund from the seller! The transaction was reversed, account to the Paypal log. It must have been the threat of prosecution that made her give the money back. I wonder who she pissed off, since I doubt the cops were going to string her up for $27.50.
