$105 to the Netherlands, PayPal rejected the claim for a refund saying they could not get the money.

Almost got scammed from the UK for $330 (an Ebay buyer said item never shipped after 5 days) and they gave him his money back with the excuse that the tracking number was invalid. After much yelling and screaming about 5 days later, I got the money back, minus $0.40. I threatened to do chargebacks to my last 5 purchases, which got me someone on the phone who had some power (and IQ +1). He sorted it out soon after. All he did was plug the tracking number into the USPS site, and saw the EMS package was delivered.... Pathetic. The chargebacks would have been about $2300, legality would have been very grey area though.

I did file a claim against PayPal in the Class Action Lawsuit, with documentation, suppose to be payouts by 8/1/2005, probably get $50 out of it.

I've probably done about ~$5,000 through Paypal payments over the last 2-3 years. No problems yet.

$205 about a year ago.

Paypal sent me a very nice note that they were sorry but that they couldn't do anything aside from fucking me out of my money. :spock:

Buying: Scammed on a $600 NGH eBay deal. Never got my cash back
Selling: 2 PSPs I sold, for around $350 each, buyers paid with Paypal, then a day later Paypal tells me the funds/account they used were fraudulent and took the cash back. I had to relist but ended up getting my cash back.

so all in all well over $1000.
