I use a credit card or debit card also. Recently I bought a laptop on Ebay for $600 and paid for it using Paypal. Well the guy must have died or something as I never heard from him or saw my laptop. So I complained to Paypal. They gave me a partial refund.
The partial refund was what was left in his account (about $300). Paypal said as soon as he puts more money in his account they will give it to me, so I am out $300. As I had used a debit card for this I just called them and explained the situation. They put the remainder of the money in my checking account the next day and that was the end of it. I always use a debit or credit card on Paypal.
