There was this person who actually personally CALLED PayPal and basically told them that how could the let this slide when it was obviously a fraud??
For SOME REASON PayPal decided to now listen and actually cancel Pixletts all chargebacks and is now working on refunding the money!
ALSO BIG SHOUT OUT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DONATED AND HELPED!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO VERY MUCH!
It is your choice is you want to keep letting the artist have it as a token of support and kindness.
However everyone reselling stuff or trying to get more donations do not have to worry anymore! Your money will be back ♥
Also the people who bought a MYO from witchpaws Can´t take their money back as they got something in return! Keep that in mind!
PLUS ALL ARTISTS HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEIR MONEY BACK YET. Like I said, Monday or Tuesday is the due!
An artist cannot give back more money than they have on their account, and as basically ALL artists account where on MINUS due to Pixlett they cannot give back anything unless they got their original amount back from PayPal.
And PLEASE be respectful to the artists. PayPal officially said that nobody would get their money back so nobody knew this would happen.
Keep that in mind. Nobody started to do donations misinformed with the chance in the back of their head of getting money back.
LET US NOW CELEBRATE! THE ARTISTS WON IN THE END AND PAYPAL REGAINED OUR TRUST BACK A LITTLE!
WE CAN ALL BREATH OUT! YUSH! CHEERS EVERYONE!

Sounds like the time I read about (years ago - completely different incident) when someone had to call the owner of Paypal direct before they could get their case sorted in their favour. Although in this case, perhaps they just needed someone to show them just how many people were being scammed? I don't know how big their team is, but perhaps if it's big they just didn't notice on their own what was happening. That or they did notice, but was going on the "sellers are not protected for digital goods" rule until they noticed how big of a ripple through the internet it was creating. Can't have an entire community angry at Paypal.
In any case, this is awesome news that Paypal is refunding all the artists

Why would anyone want to take the money back from witchpaws or anyone they donated to help, anyway, especially since in general they got stuff back for it? (Or are you just poking fun at the whole chargeback situation, and I am a dumb?)
Also I am SO happy for these poor artists that had to go through this all, and hope it never happens again. x.x

Yamio In reply to Seraiden [2014-08-17 23:59:04 +0000 UTC]
Because some people might feel as every artist got their money back, they also want their money back because it served as a donation.
However I think it wouldn´t be so nice, but I would understand their view ;;;;
I would like to see donations as a gift. And taking gifts back, that you are suppoused to give fro my our heart, feels very odd ;A;
Me too! <333333

Still so glad the artists at least mostly got their money back, and it's sweet to see everyone come together as they have.

I don´t know if it is fake or not as it is just created today.
Anyone can write that if they know any information about Pixlett.
Maybe it is just an attention seeking person? I mean what would be the purpouse of that account?
To come back with the same name and all? Cannot fins a valid good reason for that ;;

Emberguard In reply to Yamio [2014-08-17 22:56:01 +0000 UTC]
The only reason I can think of is for a guilt trip. I assume Paypal is taking on the $XX,XXX loss on their own shoulders because their emails say they can't get the money back from the credit card company. Which if I'm correct would mean financially Pixlett isn't any worse off, but emotionally? Who knows. This entire ordeal was their doing, but I'm sure it was quite stressful on both sides. If they do suicide as their journal implies then that's their business and probably just wants to pass on the guilt to someone else. If they don't then it's just to make people feel bad about something that's not even their fault regardless of whether Pixlett suicides.

I've actually been told ( and from personal experiences ) that Paypal is much more efficient (and tends to listen more seriously) If you actually directly call them at their number and explain the problem/situation.
I don't know what the deal with that is, but I'm glad the artists are gonna be getting their money back!!
