Summary
If someone sends you money through PayPal and later requests it back, complications can arise if your account is closed. In Wisconsin, if the money was a gift with no agreement to return it, you generally dont need to repay it. However, the sender could dispute this. PayPals user agreement allows for transaction disputes, and you may need to open a new account or find another repayment method. If you dont have a local attorney, consider seeking pro bono services or free legal aid in Wisconsin. Resources include the Wisconsin State Bar Pro Bono Program, Wisconsin Free Legal Answers, and Legal Action of Wisconsin.Full Conversation
