    anybody use paypal recently and notice the most awesomeness glitch? I used paypal twice in the past two weeks and on one of my orders paypal credited back my money back onto my credit card :D and i guess my order was free thanks to paypal because i got my money back on that order and it still came and everything. But on my other order paypal did not do this, and this is infact paypal doing this and not the company i ordered from.

    Its just the best glitch ever! anybody eles get lucky? :D

    I would watch out for pay pal to request it's money back or the business you ordered from, they may have not gotten their money. If they do large numbers of pay pal transactions, it may take a little while to notice the discrepancy in inventory and sales.

    Also, did the transaction you got the money back for have anything to do with your recent DOA purchase?

    yea im making sure i leave that money on my credit card just in case, and when i saw it i contacted the company and they said paypal had been doing that all week. Hopefully it wont take to long to fix it or paypal just leaves it

    nope the DOA purchase had nothing to do it, and was a completly different company but the one from my DOA fish was fine, and they didnt give me my money back because we had worked out a deal that because im so close their sending me new fish for free wich will come on tuesday :D but had nothing to do with this glitch :)

    Yeah, I would definitely not be shocked if paypal did not at least ask for the money back, if not simply take it.

    PayPal sucks. I really do not like using PayPal if at all possible, you have very little protection unless you go through eBay, I have never had any American answer when calling customer service so you know who you're talking to really doesn't give a crap, etc.

    I would be very careful. They will probably take the money from your account and if there is any actual "glitch," what if they take more or double charge. Never know. I would cancel the credit card attached to the PayPal account (call the company and have them give you a new card / change number) and wait until they request their money. If they can't charge the card they will put your account into negative and you can then fund it at your will.

    I use Paypal all the time. I know, not the best, but I'm lazy!! I did have a security issue through Ebay and someone took control of my PayPal and bought some video games....they also changed my email address to something inappropriate. So when I called PayPal I had to read off that email address! Lol it was embarassing.
