$14.59 from PayPal Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Contributed by mm | August 21, 2005 09:16 AM PST



For the first time, I am involved in a class action lawsuit. A year back, I read of PayPal's litigation settlement on its alleged violation of Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFTA") (to be fair, PayPal never admitted to the claim) from a notice sent by PayPal. I sent out a stamped mail to claim I'm a member of the class, and one year later, PayPal wired me $14.59.

I have no particular good or bad feeling of PayPal. It is convenient and really delivers some value, but I'm also mindful of the dark side of PayPal if something goes wrong. (To this end, PayPaySucks is arguably the most informative site about risks of using PayPal.)

That is about the same ammount I got from paypal.
Unfortunately I had to spent it on a video card for my personal webserver. Of course, we have to note that it is used, from ebay.com and not top of the line (as I do not play too many games anyway). Just enough for my needs, and without importing yet another trinket from overseas.

Paypal is great.

That's funny, I only received $8.00, I filed the short claim form. Did you use the short or long claim form?


>>> MM Commented on August 29, 2005

Short. Of course.
