Don't forget that you're using your credit card with paypal, and as with all credit cards your contract is with them, so if you have paypal problems you can just tell the credit card company your woes and let them sort it out.

I only got switched onto this when me and a work colleague went on holiday at about the same time. Although they were completely seperate holidays by coincidence they were both holidays from hell. I had paid for mine by cheque, he had paid by credit card. His thinking was that if it all went pear shaped the extra protection afforded was worth paying the extra 3% handling charge imposed for paying by credit card.

When we got back, we were both persuing compensation. I fought a long and bitter battle to get £500 back. He phoned his credit card company, simply told them that he wasn't paying for his holiday and why and got pretty much a full refund.
