Very weird case. The person got angry even though it was not his money to begin with. Absolutely no harm was caused to him. The person demanded explanation why an erroneous amount of money visited his account. Yet it's none of his business. There was a moment in this incident where any reasonable person would have just moved on.
> Notification of deducted money is something that is quite reasonable to expect.
You choose to say it like that. "Notification of deducted money". The money was first added, then removed. It would have been different if it was first removed, then added. But it wasn't.
OP here. If you do NOT get a notification that some money were removed from your account you will NEVER know of the fact (unless you are logging in everyday to check the balance and the account movements) My bone is NOT with the valid/legal refund, but for the fact that Paypal did NOT bother notifying me. If that refund was somehow invalid/illegal/callitwhatyouwill, I will have never found out for months. TOO late to do something about it by then
You just decide to care about the notification. The money that was added on your account and subsequently removed was just bits on hard disc. Those bits didn't affect your life until you decided to demand Paypal to notify about it.
It is his business, it's his account. What if he'd had an auto-transfer setup to clear his account and it sucked up the money before the magical refund? Then he'd have PayPal up his ass about "hiding funds".
Would you let some 3rd party use your PO box or parcel locker as long as "it was none of your business"?
It's not his account. It's a service paypal offers. They own the service, the bits, everything. He owns the money. Paypal added some money that was not his, and then they took it away. Nothing of his was touched.
