So here's the rest of what happened....it gets even better.

Well, I paid my friend Larry through paypal like I explained above and the coupon worked like it said it would. I was psyched it went through with no problems!
So Larry, who isn't the most experienced ebay/paypal user, didn't read that he had to upgrade to be a "premier member" of paypal to accept a payment from two different sources (the coupon plus the remainder from my account) so he hit "no" when it asked him to upgrade. That automatically declined the payment and it was sent back to me. Well, now the coupon didn't work anymore because it said it had already been used, so I had to call ebay customer service to have them reactivate the coupon.

The first ebay customer service guy I talked to said the coupon would be reactivated within 24 to 72 hours and I said that was fine and hung up. Well, three days go by and the coupon is still saying its been used already. So the next day I called up ebay customer service again and was told they didn't reactivate the coupon because they just had the coupons value bounce back into my paypal account! So, sure enough, I check my paypal account and there was $2000 in it!!!

So of course, I transferred the $2000 into my bank account (which is free), sent my friend Larry a check for the gear and saved another $70 I would have been charged if I had sent the money through paypal!

I would call them a bunch of boneheads, but I can't say anything bad about someone that just gave me that much money!!!!
