As for those people that are ridiculing my dad, I don't appreciate that in the least. He's very intelligent.
I'm going to fight not to reimburse PayPal for their mistake. Its hard to believe no one sees my side. Yes human error happens however this was beyond what a normal error should consist of. I'm done with the advice from you people...when you're a poor college student maybe you'd understand my angle a bit more.

if your looking for validation for taking someone elses money, then sorry bubs, but u wont find it on TFP.
a 400 dollar mistake is NOT a big mistake. im a bean counter.. i should know. it may have been a simple clerical error or oversight, but thats not for you to judge. at some point in time when the accounts dont balance, an audit process will show the mistake, and is usually fixed up. but for you to say that this is more than what human error should consist of is wrong. thats not your call. and even if the mistake was so huge that it showed gross incompetance, its still no right for you to take that money.
i too was a poor college student ten years ago living on $50 AUD (back then about 30 dollars USD) but it didnt give me the right to take someone elses money. so i know what struggle meant... my father was on low wages his whole life.. we struggled financially through 20 years but we got through by not comprimising our morals.
and for the record, yes it was questionable advice.
so do yourself a favour, pay the money back which was never yours. somebody worked for that money, and id be rightly pissed if someone took my money and then claimed it as theirs.
so do the right thing and agree to pay it. if you fight it, you will inevitably end up paying more.
