If payputz does not reverse the charge to your credit card when the seller scams you then you should ask the CC co to reverse the billing. PayPutz has no right protecting eBay scammers. and btw… PayPutz is now wholly owned by eBay.

I wonder if the Office Of The Attorney General of New York state, aka Mr Eliot Spitzer, would be interested in the thousands of eBay and PayPal past and ongoing scams

Nice the way all you eBay whores miss the point. The point being that PayPal gets creamed by CC chargebacks when PayP fails to honour it’s buyer protection scam. That is the reason that PP wants funding by any means other than a credit card. The dumbest thing you can do when dealing with PayPutz is to fund the account with your bank. You aresigning a blank check. Not too smart.

Joseph Mercola——Boycott Payputz
PayPal’s true function is as a politically biased extremist-activist platform
Natural health organizations, antiwar journalists, Christian organizations, anti-child-grooming organizations, nonprofits fighting vaccine mandates, organizations promoting early COVID treatments, alternative media and free speech unions are among those who have had their PayPal accounts canceled without warning
PayPal is also seizing any money you might have in your account on the day of deplatforming. Funds may or may not be returned to you after a six-month review.
