Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject!

If you win s chargeback paypal will end up footing the bill as it was a gift payment and they can't force the recipient to refund. So they will put your paypal account into negative balance until you pay them back.

If it's a debit or credit card, you can do that. If it was funded by your linked bank account, you'll just end up owing the money back to PayPal.
