The Irony

10 minutes after the last post, I checked my Inbox. Turns out I won a lawsuit against PayPal, and have been awarded a settlement.

No kidding.

Too bad it was one of those damn-near useless "class action lawsuits". Curses! Here's a verbatim excerpt:

Your payment of $8.00 as a statutory fund claimant in the In Re PayPal Litigation class action lawsuit has been credited to your PayPal account. No further action is required for you to claim these funds.

$8.

All I have to do is... wait for it... use PayPal to claim my $8 settlement! The same settlement that was awarded after the company lost this very lawsuit alleging that their service practices were unfair and that they violated several laws, including the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.

So justice is served, sort of. I'll be using PayPal to transfer my $8 settlement from PayPal into my "real" bank account. And PayPal will make money of the transaction.

The circle of capitalist life continues.
