Sort of off topic but... does anyone actually get away with PayPal scamming? I don't know anyone who wouldn't bother opening a dispute after being scammed out of >=$100, and it seems like PayPal always sides with the buyer.
I wonder about that as well. It seems odd. Maybe if they get the money out fast enough? Does placing a dispute hold the funds? I guess that is a question I need to ask paypal.
Yes.. when you file a dispute - paypal will lock the funds away until it is resolved. They do that to protect themselves from losing the money for those exact reasons.
