    Brian Dunning (Skeptoid podcast) went to prison for wire fraud for doing a similar stunt with EBay. Not sure what makes this any different.

      What makes it different is that it was perpetrated by Paypal, so nobody will see any consequences whatsoever.

        You act like PayPal and eBay aren’t in a codependent relationship. Has that changed? I mean I see PayPal as an option everywhere but I don’t use it because giving money to Paypal is like giving money to ticketmaster.
