    Chill!!

    You still have the item and the money is on its way to your bank.

    When the real credit company of the card that the fradulent (as it seems) payment was sent through, then Paypal will do a chargeback, but you have the money! Just transfer it back into your paypal account and dont worry about it. You are nto going to get into trouble or lose out.

    Yup, paypal can.

    Their priorities are as follows when it comes to a fraudulent transaction

    1 - Paypal
    2 - Buyer
    3 - Seller
