i got one of these 2. the part i like is where it says you will be entered in the civil action automatically but if you do not go to the website and fill out the form then you do not receive benefits from the settlement. -----------So basically you have to put all your personal info in yet another unknown persons hand for maybe a few bucks.-------thats what i get, what about you.

I don't know where you think that credit cards are federally insured and if they are what is insured by the gov't?
The federal insurance out there is FDIC and it is to cover deposits in checking, NOW, and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, and time deposits such as certificates of deposit (CDsmade in case of a bank failure. Fraudulent activity is not protected. Especially if you as the buyer took the money out knowingly. If money was taken out illegally that is up to the bank discretion not the gov't.
Credit cards is another form of payment like Paypal, money order, or cash. The only protection you have is dependent on the credit card company against fraud but that is through the credit card company not gov't. By definition FDIC doesn't insure this. Large banks that has credit cards and bank account customers are FDIC insured to cover the bank accounts not their credit cards.
If I'm wrong I would like to know since I never heard of this before relating to credit cards cause there's no need to insure something that you never had money in.
Perhaps this will teach people that credit cards are not evil and it has more benefits for these situations. I use credit card purchases for almost every transaction if there's no minimum purchase requirements.
Wow this is shocking, I wish all you guys the best of luck. I hope that karma bites dude in his arse!

Fraud protection is a built in feature of the cards. Every issurer wants to keep you as a cardholder so they protect you from fraud. I had an instance where I purchased something from a retailer with my CC and the retailer subsequently went out of business before I received the item. I called my credit card company and they deleted the transaction from the card. It was easy, no hassels.
I understand that PayPal will step up to the plate if the dispute is with an Ebay purcahse (Ebay owns PayPal). I have heard of other instances where PayPal users have been screwed becasue the transaction wasn't through Ebay.

You are dealing with attorneys at http://www.steelesettlement.com/, not some random shmoe. If the money isn't worth the hassle of filling out the form, don't do it. Just don't discourage others from doing the right thing.
For those that missed post #30, it is a class action lawsuit against PayPal for the problem people here are having.
Visit http://www.steelesettlement.com/ to get on the list so you can get a portion of the settlement.

I got the " In your favor, but no funds in the account" message from paypal. Then I called my credit card company, and they issued a credit for the $300 paypal was unable to recover.
