I normally lurk but I'm not sure how many people might have experience in this, so it was time to finally sign up and stop lurking. ToT Earlier this year, my mother passed away and we had to handle things like her bank account, paypal, etc. In order to close the account, you have to provide a certificate of their death to prove that they have legitimately passed away. After that point, the person closing the account has to state "This activity is fraudulent" or file the chargebacks manually / etc. Paypal specifically does not automatically begin to file these chargebacks. When we filed the certificate on my mother's accounts, we had to finish the business that she had left prior to her passing that was done on Ebay. We had to either locate the items she was auctioning to send them or refund people if we could not locate these items. Paypal worked with the family to resolve these issues, and did not give refunds / issue chargebacks without our families consent. I think that what this person is saying about their father passing and then paypal filing a bunch of chargebacks sounds inaccurate. They would have had to have made these purchases after his passing, and then the person who had the account closed with his death certificate would have had to file the chargebacks, it wouldn't have been done automatically. I'm terribly sorry for the loss of their father, but I don't think what they're doing to all these artists is fair. Hopefully this comment helps shed some light. :C
