Had the same problem last week. I paid for an eBay item out through Paypal, and it took the money from my bank account. I wasn't impressed as the banks over here will charge a $50 over-drawn fee on a bank account. So I paid $17, and ended up paying $67 to the bank, all thanks to Paypal.
I complained about it and all I got was, sorry, you'll have to be more careful next time. A**holes!
This is true as long as the electronic copy isn't able to be altered (ie. PDF, picture format, etc). A Word document or editable file can't be used.
I know this cos I worked for the Australian government, and we constantly have people asking us how to turn a PDF into a Word document. Our legal stand-point is no, nadda, not-a-snowflakes-chance-in-hades.
