I trick PayPal out of that money. I always seem to have some balance in my
PayPal account when I need to set up a client and do the testing. I make
sure I do that before the client has verified their account (or create a
new bogus account for the test). If the account has not yet been verified
there's an "accept" or "deny" on the transaction. Just deny it and it goes
back to the sender, no charges either way.
