Well, I initiated a dispute with PayPal last week when I saw an unauthorized transaction on my PayPal. I noticed it 2 days after it occurred, and it was for 515 Euros, which was about $666.xx. I immediately logged into my bank account and checked and there was no transaction. Called my bank, they said it hadn't been pulled from my account (it wouldn't have, as I didn't have near that much in this account, in part because it's my "PayPal account").

Yesterday (5 days after the event), I get an email from PayPal saying the transaction had been decline and it would automatically re-try in 3 days. I checked my account again, still no activity.

Now, when I initially called PayPal on the 20th to report the unauthorized transaction, it showed as having been drawn off my bank successfully in PayPal. However, they told me that it could take several days to show up, so I've been keeping a close eye.

Today, PayPal puts a credit on my account for 515 Euros.

Seriously, though... I've got a few options, obviously... the poll will show them. Tell me what you think.

And for the record, I've already decided what to do, I'm just posting this for fun. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
