&quot;Pull up a chair, grab the popcorn, and settle in.  You’re not gonna believe this…&quot;<p>Actually, I&#x27;m not surprised. Paypal has no incentive to resolve disputes or stop fraud. Every company has a limit over which they will intentionally try not to honor any fraud protections. With Paypal it&#x27;s just zero. For example, American Express is usually good at resolving disputes, but a dispute that a few thousand dollars will not be resolved in your favor even if you can prove that what you got was not what you paid for I paid for an air-conditioned Marriott room and got 6 rooms (one at a time) in two different Marriotts, none with AC that worked over a period of three weeks. (Apparently, Marriotts in Cancun advertise AC but don&#x27;t let you use it, a problem that I&#x27;ve ran into at one other major hotel as well, though only for one night.) Amex, at least is a reputable company. Paypal on the other hand is a company that knowingly signed up many people for credit cards without their knowledge. I would not expect anything from Paypal and I would only use a credit card and make purchases up to an amount I know I can dispute with the CC and win. If you&#x27;re using Paypal any other way, chances are you will get fucked.
