I can back Amy up on this as I was the seller involved in this transaction.
Paypal did instruct me to lie to her and tell her everything was fine with
the order. Which I didn't do because I had dealt with Amy before and she
has always been trustworthy. If I remember correctly, this never did get
worked out through paypal, I believe a check was sent without incident.
