In fact...Yep, I've experienced the same thing. In fact, I have sold a couple of digital goods, and recorded the ip address of the machine that downloaded the item... which matched the same small town as the Paypal accounts holder's address. <br /><br />Needless to say, Paypal reversed the payments, even after showing proof that the buyer was actually the Paypal account holder. In my case the 'customer' received the digital good, I didn't receive payment, and my digital item was probably placed on torrents for all to share. <br /><br />I am more than frustrated with Paypal, to say the least. They are a monopoly that acts a bank, but makes ultimate-power decisions with my money... and won't even explain the reasons for letting people steal my products.
