In Mailpile's case, there must be a higher risk that their linked account doesn't have $100,000 for PayPal to back out.

The same could be said for your situation, but I'm assuming the liability is lower due to the amount.

Edit: That's not quite right since $100,000 represents a collective amount, not individual buyers demanding a refund.

I certainly didn't have $250 in that account, which of course added a $50 overdraft fee. One would assume that they didn't spend all their money at once, so paypal would be able to suck back at least some of it.
