Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and no sweat to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) AccountNow Visa's are.

They nearly always side with them. So if funds are taken from your account for any reason in an online transaction, first call the payment processor that took them and ask for a refund. If they refuse, let them know that you are going to call your bank. 9 times out of 10 they will reverse the charge (many times before it goes through to your bank). If they refuse to, then call your bank and they will always take care of you. Credit card companies are very protective of their clients (you the consumer). They nearly always side with them.

PayPal e-mailed me and held the transaction, and they cancelled it when I contacted them via telephone. If I can obtain details on who's behind this, I will definitely prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. The scammers didn't even attempt to have it delivered to the same state where I live, and PayPal knows I don't typically pay that much for ANYTHING via PayPal.

The best thing you can do with PayPal...do not attach a bank account directly to it!!! You can obtain the full functionality of PayPal by using a credit card. Adding your bank account has no additional benefits. It is much easier to dispute a charge on your credit card, than it is directly from your bank account.

It sounds like you did all the right things, I have had similar things happen to myself in the past. It is always so frustrating and you feel so violated. I actually just had the opposite thing happen with paypal , I had ordered something and it got flagged-- I guess as I was traveling in Europe and made an order-- it drew the money from my bank acct and sent it to the company. Then I get an email from Paypal saying my account had been accessed by a 3rd party and that the payment had been frozen. It asked me to reconfirm my details but my only number on there was my old home number which I no longer have a land line, just cell phone, and paypal wont let you put in cell phones as primary contact. I was also abroad and could not get them to call to confirm my account till I got home. So the transaction was overturned and my account refunded, despite not wanting it to happen. I felt a bit embarrassed to contact the company and apologize for the situation and asked them to hold what I had ordered until I got home in order to fix it. Luckily they did and everything was fine. I hope everything gets sorted out with everything and they find the person(s) who are responsible ! Yeesh.
