(Jun 14 06, 01:57)yes - I have had a response from them to fill out an affidavit and mail it with the visa statement to be reimbursed.
Visa have said they'll reimburse me too so im not that worried about it, its just a hassle that id rather not have to deal with. :/
and NO, I didnt fall for one of those fake emails!! argh im not that thick, i explained above for those who read the thread.
all up they took about $600nz.
if u dont have problems with paypal, fantastic! neither had I until this, out of the blue! ....like I say, i've only used paypal once or twice for a couple of teeshirts.

A friend of mine, programmer specializing in cryptography says he has 3 passwords, for 3 levels of security. One is for money related things (banking, domains), one for quite important, but not financially threatening stuff and one for all less important logons.
This way you only have 3 passwords to remember, and know not to use your paypal password to register for another new hip beta web 2.01 ajaxesque tool you'll never use anyway.
