If you reverse a charge on a credit card bill - or on an ACH transaction - PayPal will *automatically* restrict your account, meaning there is no way to move money out of it - or even close it - until you've jumped through a rather inane set of hoops. Their so-called support seems to be designed to keep money locked into their system, not to actually solve any problems. At times the same action on your part will cause different parts of their system to do different - and sometimes contradictory - things. The four months of agony the caused me after they accidently double-billed a transaction are enough that I'll never do business through them again. Things are finally straightened out as far as I'm concerned, but last time I looked they had taken money from the person I sent the money to, claiming I said I never received the merchandise even though I never said any such thing. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
