Can you explain how you get your credit card company to refund your
money, if you officially authorized Paypal to draw from your CC account?

It's simple, you call your credit card company and say the merchandise
was never delivered. If you do this before you give paypal a chance
to resolve it through there channels, paypal will lock your account.
However, if they turn you down and you file for a chargeback through
your credit card company they will let it slide. If they can they will
still charge back the sellers (this is why paypal tends to be a bit
on the dangerous side for sellers).

There was some stickiness between American Express and Paypal a bit
over a year ago, but that was settled.
