We recently had a mistaken donation/payment made to our account in the amount of $2700 when the individual meant to only donate $270. Paypal immediately took their cut of ~$78, and two days later the donator understandably requested and received a refund for that full $2700. However, our organization is now out $78. It seems that with enough forethought and such, an unscrupulous individual could potentially make any size payment, request and get the full refund in that grace period and completely ruin our business, and we'd have no way of protecting against it, especially since I see this is stated as a thing at https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/is-there-a-fee-for-issuing-a-refund-when-using-paypal-payments-advanced-faq3108. So is there any way to contest this and try to recoup our losses, as this is a rather large amount?
