I hope this works out to the positive for myself and all others involved.
fingers crossed for all of you! i'm interested though if paypal will reimburse for any claims that were funded straight through a linked bank account. the info i got years ago indicated that would only happen if there were funds in the seller's paypal account.
since then i have paid using my visa card as the funding option and not my bank account.
it would be good to know if there have been changes in paypal's policies.
