Technically, by your logic, this wouldn't be Apple's fault. It would be the fault of the company that handles Apple's payment processing....


The only entity at fault is Apple. PayPal is a payment processor that does what Apple asks. The consumer was consuming. The bank allowed the payment processor to do what it does. Apple caused this.

You guys are saying that if he had used a credit card, there would have been more of a dispute process, but there is no dispute, this was Apple's system going haywire in a once-in-a-lifetime fluke. If you wanna blame someone for the speed at which banks work, blame the banks' EFT/ACH system. But Apple still screwed people regardless of what above-and-beyond precautions the consumer didn't take.

And I GUARANTEE that the $4k guy could get something more from Apple if he complained even just a little.
