This only works if their account has money in it. I bought something from someone and it was never sent. I told Paypal about it and we both tried to contact him about it, since neither of us got any response after a week, they issued a refund and told me it would be applied ONCE HIS PAYPAL ACCOUNT HAD A BALANCE. It was $0 and stayed like that forever. Easy scam, eh? Collect money on a paypal account, then empty it so paypal cant draw any refunds out of it. Paypal isnt going to refund your money out of THEIR pocket. I have no beef with anyone here, just want to clear that statement up with some experience.
