Twitch paypal chargeback

[spartaman64]

One of my favorite streamers messaged me that a person donated 130 dollars to her and then issued a chargeback with paypal and she incurred a 20 dollar chargeback fee. She is filing a dispute with paypal which she thinks probably won't work and given the history I agree with her. What else can be done?

Well, if PayPal doesn't help her, she can try to email the person that donated the 130$. Assuming the person who donated wasn't a dick and simply regret donating that amount, that person could give her the 20$ back. Although, I think PayPal will be on her side on this one, hope I'm right.

Yeah...Who am I kidding? I don't get why twitch donations are eligible for the 180-day PayPal protection...

Pretty much nothing. Except put cap for incoming donations to prevent further misuse. This is more about Twitch having bad policy/system (if its being used as another handler) than PayPal (which in this case is working like CC company or bank would).

 

I've had my card info misused before and had to make claim because of it. While I got my money back and probably got company which charged me blacklisted/reported to CC companies as result, I also had card closed and got another. Which meant I was 2 weeks without ability to pay with card. That made somethings harder as I had to go to bank office to get cash. But since its PayPal, most they could do for the person is delete account and blacklist their payment info. So they can't make new account and use same payment details again. But I doubt it will happen. $20 is such small amount to go much further.
