Some of you may already be familiar with my ongoing Powerbook scam saga. Well, after about a month of absolute inactivity, something has happened.
This morning, I got the following notice from PayPal:
Dear Jeremy Thornhill,We were recently notified that you initiated a chargeback through your
credit card company for the following transaction:Seller's Name: Shehryar Qamar
Seller's Email: vinylpushers@hotmail.com
Transaction Date: May 18, 2004
Transaction Amount: -$2,300.00 USD
Case #: PP-042-514-809We would like to take this opportunity to let you know about a service
available to you through PayPal. PayPal's Buyer Complaint Policy allows you
to resolve disputes through PayPal before contacting your credit card
company. To learn more about this helpful program, simply click the
"Security Center" link in the footer of any PayPal page.
Let's put aside the snide "you should've gone through us" bullshit - believe me, I tried, but PayPal was absolutely worthless. I'm taking this to be a "good thing." It seems as if American Express has decided to bitchslap Paypal to try and get my money back - here's hoping the good guys win.
