That is no longer the case. Many credit card issuers will not refund
PayPal transactions. Some even treat a PayPal transaction as a cash
advance, and charge you a 2.5% surcharge - plus you incur interest from
Day 1, not the date of your next statement.


Is that right? Hadn't heard of that.

Yes. Some even charge a flat 'cash advance' fee in addition.
