FWIW I also followed up by contacting PayPal Acceptable Use Policy Department and reporting my transaction as fraud. Although it's past the deadline I think PayPal should be aware of what's going on.
How do I report sales, transactions, or websites that violate PayPal policy?
If you encounter a website that you feel may violate our Acceptable Use Policy, please send us an email at aup@paypal.com. paypal also has something called the paypal executive committee you can petition on stuff..some people got lucky last year with BFL refunds that way
till BFL started hiding banks/accounts from paypal thus it dried up....ask about that option as well...before alpha pulls the same stunt...i did eventually get
a refund from paypal this year...but missed a refund with the above paypal executive option back then by like 2 days...so my BFL refund was luck in hindsight
but don't count on luck with alpha...once they declare bankruptcy no money will move at all back to anyone for probably quite some time ...and any $$$ by
that point to customers will be measly imho
if folks don't have a cc this is probably one of only 2 options the other is to go back in the thread and contact the EU and UK consumer protection
links folks posted and various legal services..some folks also have used lawyers with good effect check out the thread
as always good luck

edit clarified above my bfl refund...1/2 came back via the way I paid paypal...the wire xfer part came back in that manner just to be clear on above.
So the BFL refund was due to difficulties this year BFL was having with probation of sonny v. and the class action suit....got all back in 6 month 1 day
manner on monarch upgrade..anyway just to be clear....this was all due JUST TO PLAIN DUMB LUCK...that last year I was DUMB enough to upgrade
my 65mm to a monarch...thus qualified for their desperate refund options they put up this year due to pressure on BFL.
So anyway ..don't rely on luck ...try the paypal exec committee and also the UK and EU consumer protection links back in this thread and pressure
you cc company with the
www.coindesk.com article on alpha and their own NEWS statements....imho you have a much better shot with those
links included with any dispute to your cc company..good luck...eventually....alpha imho may freeze accounts etc ...likely just before bankruptcy
so start building your dispute file with the cc company asap
