That letter is just so painful to read.
Paypal...what a sham.
Use a credit card, and do a chargeback if need be. Let Paypal eat it. In case you have not noticed, there have been a bunch of BILLIONAIRES made off of paypal, and they have a huge cash flow...but they will screw you for $400 without blinking an eye. The bottom line is THEY WILL NOT EAT IT. They will only give you your money back if they can get the money from someone ELSE. They talk an awful lot about "buyer protecton" and such, but when push comes to shove, THEY won't pay out a dime. Chargeback works, though! Use a CC with paypal.
