That's how mine worked, it took a few days to update. I'd suggest you read the paypal dispute terms/faq so you know what you're up against and/or can defend yourself if need arise.

yea ive read everything several times just to make sure, and thats where i read that maybe only a portion of the money maybe refunded..we'll see

good luck getting your money back through paypal, but most likely you won't see anything. i was ripped off for $1300 about year ago buying a laptop. paypal sent me $175, and i never saw the rest of the money. i would definately try your cc company though, especially if its a reputable company like wachovia, ect... i contacted wachovia a couple days ago because this taco bell charges my account twice, and the money was back in my account the next day.

did you use credit card or bank fund to fund that through paypal?

well see thats the thing, i used my visa debit card, which isnt technically a CC, however they told me that they would review it aswell and stated that they would get into contact with paypal ( i sent in all of the documents ), and i believe that the sheffis dept. contacted me based on the bank's footwork...so its limbo time...

Debit cards that carry a credit card's logo (MasterCard, Visa, etc) carry the same protections that an actual credit card issued by that same company would. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

If it ends up that you get stiffed by PayPal (and unfortunately is sounds as if you're going to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif) then call Visa and tell them you got scammed and they should make it right.
