Yeah paypal dose that, acts like they are actualy helping you out...but the thing is.

Most scammers will scam more then one persion at once, and when everyone sends money they withdraw all the money out of their paypal. And this is where paypal gets gay...if the user ignores the msg and emals, paypal will try to automaticly withdraw money out of the scammers "PAYPAL" account to give back to you. But the thing is, the scammer already took all the money out, and there is nothing to withdraw so paypal says they cant do anything else to help.

Shit like that makes me think twice about paypal, but thats the only way to pay for shit online!!

That is exactly how it works. CC chargeback is your only protection.
